This shot alot of people play in pool, its getting alot of hype. He didn't mean to pot it just hit it. Great shot but i think people have gone way OTT in my opinion, what was more annoying Day fluked one in the decider and went on to which means Louis will now have to qualify via Q school i believe.

Just saw this so thought I would quickly let you know that Louis should be fine as he is currently 4th on the 1 year list and top 8 stay on.

It was a bit of a guess tbf, cheers Paulie thanks for letting me know. I hope so he has started to find his feet of late so good news.

Hope you are well mate?

Agreed. Have often seen them use the middle jaw, not so much the corner when that much distance though.

with the distance involved,its a brilliant shot but i've seen it pool and snooker so to me doesn't feel as good as social media has made out. I have seen it going around alot lol

I don't think he would hit that very often, maybe one in twenty. The yellow wasn't all that close to the cushion and the white normally stays closer to the rail when you use the jaws. You don't really have much control and he was lucky just to hit it, but to pot it was ridiculous.

fair point, i think hitting it closer to 1 in 10. Although the pot is slightly irrelevant for me its a fluke, bit of a brucie bonus if you ask me.

First 8 through to the crucible to face a top 16 player:
Maflin 10-4 Milkins
Selt 10-3 Donaldson
Jamie Jones 10-5 Li Hang
Haotian 10-6 Bingyu
Mark Davis 10-8 (from 7-2 down)
Tian Pengfei 10-7 Dott (Dott was 8-1 down, so nearly some fightback)
Liam Highfield 10-7 Yuelong (the 17th seed is out, big shock for me)
Liang Wenbo 10-7 Lu Ning

johnnybev1987 · April 2021

Todays line up for judgement day part 2, draw tomorrow AM
Figuiredo v Joyce
Day v Walden
Bai Langning v Martin Gould (Bai is the lowest ranking to get to this point, impressed me so far but big task today)
Hallworth v Wilson (potential shock for me, Wilson hasn't been firing yet if he does he goes through)
Carter v Ursenbacher
Xintong v Sam Craigie
Wakelin v Guodong
Brecel v Bingham (potential for tie of the round, although Bingham should make it through)

Shows how tight snooker is these days, no formality games there. You can watch showdown day on World Snooker Tour social media Youtube or Facebook, or alternatively for a specific game i usually find betting sites better.

Chizz · April 2021

Half time update:
Figuiredo 3 v 6 Joyce
Day 3 v 6 Walden
Bai Langning 5 v 4 Martin Gould
Hallworth 2 v 7 Wilson
Carter 6 v 3 Ursenbacher
Xintong 5 v 4 Sam Craigie
Wakelin 5 v 4 Guodong
Brecel 3 v 6 Bingham - Bingham has hit 3 centuries, i think he could be the one to avoid in the first round.

We could have a few close ones , equally a few 6-3 could turn into a quick affair. Kick off T - 2 Hours (1700 hours UK time)

great replay by the BBC there. They put up their ident before the ball goes into the pocket.

Didn't realise Bingham had fallen out of the top 16

Alright @paulie8290
Didn’t realise you were back on here. Hope all is well with you.
Even if it’s just a flying visit, keep looking after yourself. 👍🏼

So the final 8 that went through are :
Sam Craigie (Great win 10-9 v Xintong)
Mark Joyce
Chris Wakelin (Debut) another nice win against a top china player Guodong
Gould (beat the one i was following Bai Langning. still one to watch out for i think he was 4-2 up but Gould kicked into gear and is a top player on his day won 10-5)
Carter beat Ursenbacher
Bingham solid win v Luca Brecel
Walden beat Day
Gary Wilson beat Steve Hallworth

Quite a few of those could be tricky openers, depending on the draw i have a feeling Ronnie will be out early maybe first round this year. I'll have a look to see who he draws first.

draw today at 11am, i will try and post if i can. Unless @clive
or @paulie8290 are on the ball...

Currently i have backed Robbo, Kyren Wilson, Maguire (ew) Yan Bingtao (ew), two small punts on 200/1 Davis + Craigie (before yesterday he is now 150) both have the game to beat anyone but still dont feel they will do it just seemed decent value.

I think you have the same draw just wrote down different order, his one is by quarter. I cant spot any mistake with either

i have on a pool table its alot easier over the pocket or away from it. I will give it a go on a snooker table at some point as a i want to get back into snooker, the last few years my main focus has been pool, now i am up to speed and the required standard i can go back to snooker and hopefully it should help. Could be interesting.
