What was the pay day for Dale for his work?

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

[funkrider]

What are you guys talking about? Hawkins is compelling to watch. He's a smooth break builder similar to Joe Perry if you ask me.

That was a great finish to a match right there.

25k for a losing quarter finalist.

25k for a losing quarter finalist.

At least he can buy himself a decent pair of shoes now?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

[daffie]

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

[scottley]

No sign of the players yet on any channel?

[Billy]

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??
