This is great news, although it does look like for us in America, the stream will only be up to the semi-finals (or quarter-finals). The information is a little contradicting.

Crazy that Ronnie is seeded 12.
Selby #1 seed, Trump #2, Ding #4 , Robertson #9
But bookies have Ronnie as 3rd favorite
Judd Trump is top favourite at 7/2 with defending champion
Mark Selby 2nd favorite at around 4/1.
Neil Robertson and Ding Junghui around 12/1.
I just hope Selby does not repeat and win this year. His play is so negative
I like Ronnie, Ding or Robertson
YouTube stream is going to shit now
But you're not watching the event live?
I can't get this Facebook crap to work, so spartan's post is a godsend. VPN needed though.
I was watching what said live on YouTube but it's garbage now, ya I see no live video on fb either
What do you mean his play is so negative?
I just hope Selby does not repeat and win this year. His play is so negative
Its live now. Ronnie up 5-2.YouTube is full of "live" streams that are indeed streaming live, but aren't.
Facebook showed the current match "live" for a whole minute.
This is the first year without my live snooker sub and I realize now how good it was. All this jumping around through streams- it's annoying.
