So Robbo has a maximum of 10 frames to still make his 100th...that is if he loses this match.

Poor show!

Very. It doesn't make sense. The match has already resumed and the BBC are choosing to show a repeat match!!?? It's not even on the red button

[P.Smith]

I guess they're not starting for another few minutes.

[scottley]

Huh? We're about to go live and the BBC are choosing to show a repeat of the Hawkin's match??

It's on Eurosport, scottley.

What the hell?? The BBC don't even have it on the red button??

[scottley]

No sign of the players yet on any channel?

[daffie]

Sjeez...in 5 minutes we're of again...another session

What do you think about Hawkin's table thumping when going over the finish line?

I think it was a surprise to see Hawkins showing some emotion.

Don't care for it personally...I feel the table needs a bit more respect than that (seriously). After all, that's where all the action is in snooker. Sacred maybe is the right word. But punching the air and/or yelling is perfectly fine though. However...completely understandable reaction from Barry. A lot of nervous tension and adrenaline had to be vented after losing 6 straight frames. So I have no problem with it really.

A nice bit of work then. Add that to the £32,000 he won for the shoot out a while back and he's not doing too bad is he.

Yeah...definately not bad earnings for the year.

55k for losing semi-finalist
125k runner up
300k winner

For those interested, huge prize for winning this year, up 50k on last year.

[cyberheater]

I seem to remember around 20.000 for this round...is that correct?

25k for a losing quarter finalist.
