Hmm, how did these happen at the last128 stage? Does this event use a different seeding system than other ranking events?

With a match like Bingham - Carter in the first round there can't be more than 16 seeds.

With a match like Bingham - Carter in the first round there can't be more than 16 seeds.

Looking at the draw the top 16 are seeded. The rest looks pretty much like random draw.

Many mistakes from both Day and Un-Nooh in the decider. Un-Nooh now in the balls with a very good looking chance, but you really don't know with both of them right now.

Dale through but Li could have, should have, taken the 6th but for going in off a pocketed long yellow to give Dale the easy colours.

steady Steadyman 4-2 against an out of sorts Burden.

Many mistakes from both Day and Un-Nooh in the decider. Un-Nooh now in the balls with a very good looking chance, but you really don't know with both of them right now.

Un-Nooh finally gets over the line after missing like 12 chances of ending the match.
