ORDER OF PLAY

I think Ronnie and Ding could meet in round 3 (last 32)

Come on Ng!

Judd is playing Dean Young.

Higgins vs Pang, could be tasty.

I hadn't notcied the typo, and had meant to give the goodpost smiley.

I now feel like a gentleman for coming to Ng's defence now.

Haha, comedy of errors this morning.

I’m going to watache Hicks v Murphy in a bit. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Hicks win. Murphy isn’t having a very good season at all.

This could be interesting because I'm pretty sure that my idea of 'social responsibility' will not be the same as my online tutor's idea of 'social responsibility'.

Just humour him/her. Play the player, not the table

I'm also going to be watching Murphy vs Hicks.
I used to like Murphy but I've gone off him ever since he made those comments about amateurs.
Come on Hicks!

Murphy wins the opening frame.

Interesting. This stream is a much lower framerate than the European Open. Reminds me of watching the old PTCs.

Judder showing us all how to be proper fans.

Debatable but I'll take it

Hicks put his trust in the table playing that slow roll up. Looks to be playing pretty true.

Hicks level at 1-1.

Come on Hicks, chance to get right back in this frame and maybe steal it!

Hicks misses the black on 56 :( he was just a few pots away from clinching the frame there.
