Hamilton is blowing this away...missed 2 frame balls....

Right, but Robertsons positional play has been quite poor so far, so he´ll probably get more chances.

Decider. Finally a good break from Robertson but once again he lost position a couple of times.

Thankyou..............

Hamilton wins. A deserved win I think, as Robertson made too many mistakes all evening.

And a fine comeback after losing two frames in a row from a winning position.

Only saw last frame but nice break from Hamilton, maybe just bad preparation from Neil ??

It was a great match. Robertson winning two frames on the black, and Hamilton making three centuries. I bet Robertson thought he could afford a couple of mistakes tonight, but it proved to be a couple too many, as Hamilton was definitely playing his best snooker for some time.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Nop not just bad prep from Robbo (appearing right before the start so having just 10 min on practice table? again if eurosport.ru commentary is to be trusted) - Hamilton was really good all evening, the score could (and should?) have been even more on his side. 2 or 3 centuries he made, no?

Wondering if he'll have any fire left for Dotty tomorrow...

Interesting match this morning. Higgins was brilliant in the first three frames, not really giving Milkins much chance. After that, Milkins relaxed a little and came back to 3-3. It should have been a decider really, Milkins had a couple of chances to clear the colours in the 8th frame, but played himself out of position with some nervy shots. It reminded me of the way he played from 8-5 up against Stevens in the SF of the 2005 Irish Masters.

Also, well done to the organizers this morning. After the Higgins match finished, they did indeed move the cameras over to the Williams table, then zoomed in on the Fu table as well. A bit unlucky that those two matches finished within minutes, but there you go...

Still yet to watch a single frame of this tournament.

Not that it's anything related to Ronnie's withdrawal, though.
I just feel like Ronnie, at the moment..

Anyway, I'm happy to see Anthony Hamilton doing well, he still has the tools to build some nice breaks, here and there.

Does anyone happen to know do stream only one table at the quater- and semifinal stages?

I saw only the very last moments of Higgins match, but what you say sounds like usual Higgins match structure - very focused start, not giving anything to the opponent, then concentration slips for some frames, when and then he kills it off

...showing other tables - it means they could stream more!
