nice black from selby to go into the mid session interval!!

They are both playing poor but the luck Murphy has had makes him more likely to win. Although if the run starts to change Selby will walk it.

No, I don't think any of them will walk over easily, that would require a really big amount of luck, and I haven't seen so far anything that extraordinary.

So you havent seen Murphy leaving balls over pockets but covering them with the blue, Murphy mssing and sending reds everywhere yet Selby was on nothing. Also the the snookers he had in the last frame were very jammy indeed.

Speaking about snookers i saw Selby, who had 3 or 4 open reds preferring a snooker on the yellow even though he had possibility to pot the yellow or the brown....

But that isn't luck is it. He played it tactically.

finally a decent and clean break.

YES!!! You mean 50-decent or century-decent? Something happened here and I missed the final part of the break.

Selby in charge at the moment. The snooker behind the yellow was cheeky

Well he won the frame. Same as Maguire earlier, he had a tricky match ball brown but played the safer option and got the snooker which won the match for him.

Thanks April!


Mark's game looks better after the interval. Hopefully...... 51 and counting...

He did won the frame, but not as a result of that snooker. Murphy placed the cuball into the pack, if i remeber right.....

Cheers everyone. I'm off to shoot some pool.
May the better player win....as long as it's Murphy....
