Pot Black 2006

[Alex0paul]

The players are announced and there is no Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The line-up this time features world No 1 Stephen Hendry, world champion Graeme Dott, Masters and Grand Prix champion John Higgins, Malta Cup champ Ken Doherty, former world champions Mark Williams, Peter Ebdon and
Shaun Murphy as well as defending champion Stevens

Ronnie is not in it because he is playing in the IPT World Open 8-Ball Championship which is between September 2 and September 10. The total prize fund of $3,000,000 and the winner's cheque of $500,000 is slightly higher than that for Pot Black!

Who's you favourite for winning PB this year?

[Cessy143]

Personally, I think there's never a favourite in Pot Black. Any of the 8 could easily win it, toss of a coin. Pot Luck would be a more appropriate name for the tournament.

....especially when the whole thing could be won by someone who doesnt even pot one black in the tournament

Quote from Wiki:

'The success of Pot Black was immediate and phenomenal, and it became the second most popular programme on BBC2. Matches always ended with the potting of the black ball, which is often not bothered with in multi-frame matches.'

But yes Semih, what you're saying is very true.
