Well done to Ken, what ever happened to the choice of tables you used to get on the red button?

[brusque]

Well done Ken Do ... Bullfrog needs to get rid of his sightright cue it seems

Well done Ken.

I kind of feel bad for Bingham as this is probably his best season. I hope to see him do better next season.

[coomsey76]

Well played Ken..... Bingham definitely wasn't at the races today!!

[Dr_Doctor]

If Higgins go through, I would expect Doherty to beat Higgins like Hendry and Davis did. Higgins has started to make a habit of losing to older, resurgent players in the last 16 of every even-numbered year.

(I'm talking bollocks by the way.)

I really didn't expect Bingham to play that poorly. This looked like the quarter where all four seeds could have played their best snooker of the season, but Bingham certainly didn't, and Carter didn't get much of a lead after the first session either. It will be interesting to see how Selby and Higgins play.

That was Bingham's second 1st round defeat as a seeded player in three years. He lost to an in-form Hendry in 2012, and now to another "old-timer". :smile: Doherty didn't play that well himself, but seemed to be getting better towards the end of the match. Interestingly, he has a pretty bad record against McManus, but a pretty good one against Higgins, having beaten him in six of their last eight major matches. :smile:

Nice win for Ken, he played well yesterday and if you look at the frame score from 0-3 down he won 10-2.

Knew I should have put a covering bet on him before play started today, Bingham lossing cost me my all seeds bet and one of my covering smaller bets...

Need a few more underdogs to win now and I might still be lucky.

Some players just don't like morning starts that's a fact and Bingham suffered because of it.

[Valiullin]

Another outrageous fluke for Perry :|

[scottley]

Good performance so far by Burnett, he looks really up for this.

[daffie]

Well done Ken! Bingham wasn't up to par, but Ken was very tenacious to come through in the end starting at 3-0 down. Great to see Ken back at The Crucible.

[CueAntW147]

Really pleased for Crafty Ken good solid performance which should give him confidence for next round, nice to see one of the older lads doing well.........hard to believe it was 1997 when he won it, time flies

Cash out or wait for a bit.....

Think I will hang on for a while as I am down today already.

[Odrl]

Perry is on the verge of finding himself in trouble as well, he really needs to make it 5-4 here...

[cyberheater]

Keep going Burnett. You are doing great.
