[spike]

Looks like neither player wants to win this frame..

[montoya10]

Higgins amongst the balls, but there is still a tough blue..

[montoya10]

Crazy brown pot, but blue missed..

How close it was

And for the first time since the start of the tournament, we have the crowd

[cebs]

John missed the blue !

And all the streams are crashing at the same time...

[spike]

Deciding frame it is then. Great stuff!

[cebs]

What a frame.

Crowd seem to be on Johns side for sure.

Its goona be close now I just hope a stream holds out.

[miscuehamburg]

What a frame of errors. Good to see John pulled it at last, though. Let's see a nice decider...

[ore]

How can someone as good as Ronnie play a safety as bad as that one just now - catching that red on the side cush. Even i would have seen that coming and been able to avoid it.

and its like this all over in this match... like is he thinking at all before safety shots?

[very.tee]

Oh God! I've just come in!

Come On Mark

and Come On John too

[spike]

O' Sullivan's long potting let's him down when he most needed it.

[very.tee]

Well, I can't believe the shot Mark Allen just played and ...got away with! Jamie Cope missed a very simple red

[cebs]

What a split on the reds from the yellow, its in his own hands now with all the balls nicely spread.

[montoya10]

O' Sullivan's long potting let's him down when he most needed it.

He should have already won the match earlier in the 7th though

[very.tee]

I guess no one's watching the Allen - Cope match, so I will report

Mark Allen can't pot match ball! and they've both had about 6 chances each

[spike]

Class display from Higgins and a well deserved victory.

With that performance alone you have to give him every chance of retaining his title..
