The Million Pound Challange......

Last year Liang Wenbow had the chance and this year Ronnie O'Sullivan had the chance but both attempts fell through .

It's a Barry Hearn gimmick like his Golden Cue challenge from the Cruicible , these challanges are mission impossible , the shedule dictates and it doesn't matter who is on top form the schedule is so tight in the calandar .

Mark Selby missed out this event and there is a reason why he is world number one and nobody soon will catch him at the top of the ranking list . Pick and choose ranking events , go to this one leave out that one , he must be laughing his cotton socks off at players trying to keep up with him on the ranking list .

So what i'm saying is this £1M pound challange is impossible to win on the current snooker shedule , Mark Selby knows this to be true so he picks his events to enter and asks the pack to catch up if you can .

Mark Selby is therefore a machine that will take some catching at the top of the ranking lists .

Northern Ireland Open: Dream continues for Elliot Slessor

https://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/news/dream-continues-for-slessor/127452

That Slessor match nearly sent me to sleep , it was like watching Mark Selby V Mark Slowby , understandable as both dude's were chasing prize money and book the rest of their season tickets and air fare .

What's the odds !

I wonder what would happen if he did withdraw. Would the finals be a walk-over?

Hi Bob !

When I read the story I thought , don't look up the Bookie odds because we don't know if there will be a Final .
