Sorry i actually should have said what his odds maybe for winning the tournament
After his impressive display after his first session. You could've got 40/1 before the tournament but i wouldn't be surprised if the odds will be slashed to half that!

[Marc]

Mark allen is currently 25/1 with blue square to win outright

current odds on match
hendry 10/3
Allen 1/5

[ADR147]

i think i got 66/1 on allen before the start e/w.

hendry badly needs some cue advice. he has no confidence in it some of the misses he has had are surreal.

[spike]

Allen's long potting has been very very impressive!

[Semih_Sayginer]

Allen done today what most if not all know he is capable off and that is scoring heavily with big breaks and great shot-making

well deserved overnight lead

Allen is best priced 25/1 to win the tournament at present

[ADR147]

25/ 1 not a bad shout e/w but he is not going to win it.

[spike]

Well done ADR147 for getting 66/1 on Allen! They look very good odds with the way he played today, though if he does progress to the next round he's not likely to get as many chances if playing Junhui or especially Fu!

Meanwhile, Barry Hawkins looks to be somewhere else.

Edit: Carter is not willing to win without a struggle either.

yes good odds - that was on stan james i think, but i think its money burnt he is not going to do it, better bets i got on to win are. (the rest of my bets are accumulaters doubles etc.)

Williams, Mark 33/1
Day, Ryan 40/1
Bingham, Stuart 175/1 (e/w)
Cope, Jamie 40/1
Lee, Stephen 150/1 (e/w)

[spike]

I dont think he will win it but as long as he stays in he still has a chance just like anyone else! I've got the 1 bet and that's for Selby to win the tournament outright.

[ADR147]

you can still get 16/1 or better on neil robertson even after he walked over bond - that a good bet is it not?

[Kathrin]

Carter-hawkins 9-7

[Semih_Sayginer]

williams to win his match and maguire to win his....double gives approximately even money

yes its not really enough eh!

[spike]

He was 16/1 with most bookies before the championship and with his likely 2nd round opponent to be Stephen Maguire i would say not!
