Wow, Hendry looks sharp. Vintage 135 total clearance.

[Odrl]

Yes, beautiful break. It's just the matter of keeping it going now...

[SnookerFan]

I wonder if anybody in the world is watching the Ebdon game? lol

[FOXMULDER]

Hendry missed that green by a cigarette paper on one of those attempts. Yet that's ruled "a miss"? What happened to the referee's discretion? They just don't use it anymore - everything is called a "miss", literally everything.

The rule is to protect against deliberate, strategic misses. If Hendry can deliberately miss the ball on by a fag paper, he truly is the greatest of all time!

No common sense.

[FOXMULDER]

2-1 Gould.

Fear the worst for Hendry now. He should be 3-0 up but keeps making silly mistakes, and Gould's getting the luck.

[doorag]

Did Neil lose a bet?

[daffie]

Great to see Hendry battle on and go 3-2 up. Still my favorite player of all time...

[FOXMULDER]

Well, I was wrong. Hendry is showing some fight, now 3-2 ahead.

He's had 135, 80+, 60+... Even by 2012 standards he's a monster at breakbuilding.

[daffie]

The final frame still can go either way...Hendry in with a chance now 20 in front.

Edit : oops was mistaken, thinking it was best-of-7 anyway, Hendry 4-3 up.

[FOXMULDER]

And another: that's 135, 80+, 60+, 60+.... seriously heavy scoring by Hendry

4-3 up

[Odrl]

It's been a really interesting match. Every frame has either been really close, or won with a big break.

[FOXMULDER]

superb break from Gould, this...

going to a decider. what a match!

[Gary Hall]

Quality long pot on red to recover from Gould, looks like its going to decider

[FOXMULDER]

OH MY GOD!!! That was absolutely amazing. What incredible drama.

How did Hendry win that frame?!

[FOXMULDER]

For those who didn't see it... Gould only need a simple red for victory, Hendry UNSCREWED HIS CUE, getting ready for defeat, then Gould missed and Hendry cleared to win on the black.

That was a match and a half.
