    Great break by Higgins and great display of midle pocket potting.

      Not looking good for Allen here....hopefully Mark can come out no worse than 5-3.

        The last red he took in the middle pocket to stay on the green was out of this World. Great play by John.

          John was going for a maximum there, but surprisingly, Parrot and Thorne didn't notice that.

              I'm also surprised they never mentioned it...

                Of course, if it was O'Sullivan, they'd mention it from the first red as Willie Thorn correctly commentated on during Ronnie's UK Final Maximum against Mark Selby!

                  oh, it's not looking good for mark
                  6-2 down against john higgins is going to be a problem.

                    Does anyone know the head2heads between Beaker/Murphy and Murphy/Higgins?

                      Higgins take a 6-2 lead but hopefully we will see an improvement in Mark Allen's play tomorrow.

                        John Higgins has been really impressive here. He leads 6-2. Commentators mentioned the table conditions are significantly different from what they were in previous rounds. While Mark Allen keeps struggling, John Higgins has adapted and after the MSI has played some really excellent stuff!
                        It's also obvious that John has put the pressure on Mark and it's showing. Mark's confidence looks seriously rocked. He has to win or at least tie in the next session if he's to stay with a chance in the match.

                          I guess that is to be expected.... Higgins is far more experienced. I didn't watch much of the match, what exactly is wrong with the table?

                            Not exactly "wrong" but definitely different. It's much slower it seems; Mark Allen underhit a good few balls. Cushions also seem to react differently than in previous rounds ... I'm not expert and where is Moondan when we need him

                              Indeed!

                              Higgins is a mature and consumate pro.
                              Opponent misses... punish.
                              Workman-like... steady-as-she-goes.
                              Crafty... and not just in getting the points lead... but in battering Allen up psychologically
                              for the next round.
                              The thwack of those doubles right in the heart planted a serious "What if?" in Allen's brain.
                              I hope he can get over it overnight.

                              Today consider Mark schooled.

                                A lot of kicks too, they ironed it and changed the balls at the interval and it seems to be slightly better, if not as good as earlier in the week.
