David John hit the table so hard that the ref warned him, must have broken something

Good recovery from Hamilton to win 6-5, but really-really tough loss for John, who needed desperately the win and the money.

Trump won't be getting any of the cash. He is on his Jack Jones! He has been handed his ass yet again by a nobody!

I love Hamilton - class act. How he got to 1-5 against John I`ll never know. John has had one 60 break all season...and that`s it...
I watched a bit and Hamilton was completely nonplussed at slowing it down from 1-5. From 2-5 there was only one winner.

I doubt Trump cares about the loose change being offered up by the China Open. He's already making huge wads from his Burger King endorsements. That's where the real money is.

That was only Jak Jones 5th win of the season in 14 tournament played christ even Jimmy White has beaten him this season.
How easy does Judd want these Matches in 5 seasons as a pro Jones has won only 39 Matches from 76 tournaments played.
Trump needs to wrap up these matches and Move on to bigger things.

David John comes back after months and having not won anything all season loses 6-5 from 5-1 up, wouldn't surprise me at all if this does make him give up for good now. Imagine how awful that feels

He still Championship League Group 7 to focus his attention on.
