Just checking in. 
This is fun. My money would be on Ronnie vs Higgins in the finals. Definitely gambling. Judd and McGuire are definitely capable. The others.......big maybe.......nah no way. Judd vs Ronnie would definitely be a battle. Higgins vs McGuire would be the same. Can't wait to see how it shakes out.
I have 4 dollars left. What are the odds if I take Ronnie right now?

jak jones is acting pretty cool for being a qualifier ranked 44, playing the #2 odds favorite in a world championship QF. impressive.

Jones can play and ran a 142 against Ronnie in the only frame he won. Trump has to be careful and put the pressure on him.
i think ronnie v bingham will be aggressive and high scoring. imo, bingham is top 5 "around the black" player
that was another welshman. the chubby one

I get the two mixed up lol. Jackson Page was the guy Ronnie clobbered. I realized after I posted lol.
maguire needs to realize that a fistfight against a hardwood snooker table is a losing proposition. he has slammed his fist hard on the table 3-4 times now, knuckles visibly bruised
They're neck and neck, 4-4, at the time of this writing. Today a winner will arise, and this ain't no cake walk for Ronnie. He's got to give it his all if he wants to advance to the semifinals.
Not only is winning this title an eighth time for Ronnie a record-breaker, but for anyone who wins, this is big money in snooker. As quarterfinalists, Ronnie and Stuart each are now guaranteed $62,517 (£50,000).
But here's the rest of the payouts:
• semifinalist wins $125,057 (£100,000)
• runner-up pockets $250,115 (£200,000)
• winner receives $625,285 (£500,000).
Action begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern today. Racing to 13 for the win. American Matchroom subscribers can watch the live action on Matchroom.live.
incredible is the word. played flawless for the kill, ended with a century, walked over and shooked hands, a little wave and walked off. talk about cool
Could be a skunk from here. Ronnie is looking unbeatable. Ball run couldn't hold up in the last frame 6-5.
Never seen this before and not sure I quite understand it. After black ball was placed on the spot, it kept rolling off. After a back-and-forth between Ronnie requesting the ref to reposition the black, Ronnie was not satisfied. He 3evern asked Stuart to take a look at it. Stuart said he agreed with whatever Ronnie thought. Ref says this is the last time I will place it. Instead of shooting the red straight in the corner. Ronnie played safe. Commentators said that was good sportsmanship by Ronnie that he did not shoot the red in the corner.
