World Champ. 2009 -2nd round discussion!

Ding is not too imrpessive in safety deparments, so Stephen will has his chances.

Stephen's safety isn't the best out there either!

anyone elses interactive red button not showing the hendry/ding match ?

[Forman]

im backing ding to beat hendry, i dont think he'll be as nervous as he seemed against wenbo and if he can relax and keep his cool i think he'll be too much for hendry

Yes, getting 'inside sport' instead.

If i had to put money on it id go for Ding too.

i think they'll both fancy their chances though, knowing each other has their weaknesses at the moment.

Ok thanks.

[Forman]

commentators just mentioned that some brave punter has put $26000 on ding to beat hendry

[hegeland]

They were kidding, right? Although some wealthy bloke might just do that for a bit of fun!

I dont know, they didnt sound like they were, it certianly wouldnt be unthinkable for someone to place a bet like that

[Maija]

It's on the Betfred blog too:

Ding versus Hendry could be a classic. We have taken a bet of £26,000 in Suffolk on Ding to win at 8/13,[...]

Wish I had that kind of money to spend, let alone throw away on betting (or insane amounts of chocolate). I mean, you'll have to be ready to be 26K down

[spike]

Well whoever it is it's looking quite good that punter as Ding goes 3-1 in front.

[Looki]

Good stuff from Higgins! The last frame before interval, just like in 1998. He even looked thinner

[João]

High quality stuff in Ding's match. A century and two 90's.

Hopefully Stephen can get a few frames after the MSI!

[spike]

Pity that Holt didn't take more of the chances that were handed to him....would like to see him make a fight of it & win a few frames - but it looks less likely as his confidence is shot to pieces at present!
