....then neil potted the black

WOW! Robert Fluked the black! That was something I didnt want to miss! DAMN BBC!

[Valderie]

I'm pleased Neil won but my prediction was for 6-3

[RaNeN]

How did he fluke it in?

Robertson deserved to win although i was looking for a 6-3 score for obvious reason. The 2nd fluke on the black to win the match I've seen in the tournament. First was by McManus incidentally.

[RaNeN]

LOL! McManus also fluked a black in the tournament? I didnt know that. Who was it against?

[hegeland]

Does the next match start according to plan (18.00) or is it delayed?

How did he fluke it in?

The black was near the top cushion and the cue ball close to the bottom. He played a safety (don't think he was trying a double) and the black went into the bottom left pocket.

[Valderie]

Hazel just said they'll be back at 6pm.

[Semih_Sayginer]

BBC television interactive says the coverage resumes at 6pm


i think neil tried to double the black down and then onto the side cushion (in line with the pink spot)
