So, now Barry Hawkins lost (if the worldsnooker live scoring is correct), does that mean Stephen Hendry is through?

Bond wins the 2nd frame with a 111 break , so 1 -1 now.

Not if he loses his last match in this round and Hawkins wins his . I think Hawikins still has a better frame dif. , but only 2 wins , while Hendo has 3.

[Monique]

Not yet. He's now won 3 matches, Hawkins and McLeod 2. All must play a last one. Meaning that if Hendry looses AND Hawkins or McLeod win it will be depending on frame difference. Now Hawkins plays Magguire ... Hendry plays Davies and McLeods plays Cope. So this would be a major upset!

Don't think so yet, don't have the group standing with me but I think if Hawkins wins and Hendry lost in the last game then Hawkins might go through

[Ekphantos]

Thanks all for clarifying the situation! I lost track of the group results along the way...
Come on Stephen!

[issha]

no chance he will waste the opportunity...comon hendo....

p.s.i wolud cheer for mark too....but ricky is playing some nice snooker lately..

Hawkins is playing Stephen Maguire, though, who does seem to be in a pretty good form right now. Admitteldy, McLeod beat Hawkins, so let's unite in chewing fingernails later on

It seems - with the possible exception of the WSA livescore being nuts - that Bond and Higgins are at 1-1.

Huh? Livescore just decided that the Higgins-Bond match is at 3-3

Global snooker centre has the same match at 1-10 to Nigel Bond, which I personally find very impressive in a best-of-7!

[Ellena]

Higgins-Bond 1-1 atm .. frame 3 , score is 57-31 to Bond
Williams - Walden 1-2
Campbell - Hamilton 3-3
Allen - McCulloch 2-2
and
Pengfei - King 2-2

Does anyone know how i can view coverage of Ricky Walden v Mark Williams? or if it will get uploaded?
I haven't manage to catch any of Ricky's matches yet.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ellena]

Bond won the frame , so hes 2-1 up now.
Hamilton - Campbell 3-4

[zombieman]

Can't see Hendry losing to Paul Davies, to be honest. Anyway, Stephen Maguire is guaranteed first in the group (his frame difference is +11, in worst case he'll finish with +7, while Hendry can't go better than +6). So if Hendry qualifies, he'll play Peter Ebdon in the knockout round.
