The shot he missed was not dogged. It was an incredibly hard cut he went for. Ronnie went for and missed a very similar shot in an earlier frame.

May have been the one that went to the respot black.
Trust me. For a player of his caliber, he dogged the shot.
Yea, What Ever. I definitely don't "Trust You". I choose to trust "My Lie'in Eyes".
There is something that is nearly universal in their (top snooker players') fundamentals that nearly all pool players ignore. I think some pool players would benefit from adopting that something.
C'mon Bob. Give it up. What is this "universal fundamental" of which you speak? I know one that I see in every shot is the way they pull the cue ALL the way to their bridge, pause, and then send it. What is it you're seeing?
Yup. Brass ferrules.
If only there was ONLY one thing snooker players do that pool player's don't.
He's said that Ding is his favorite player.
What was ridiculous about the O'Sullivan v Ding match is although there weren't that many centures, there were 23 50+ breaks in 23 frames!!!
Not sure if that's been done before or not, but the standard was very high, which is odd because watching it at times I felt they were both missing more than usual!!!

A very interesting final four line-up. We have John Higgins vying for a 5th world title which would tie him with Ronnie O'Sullivan and also mean we'd have the both of them attempt to tie Steve Davis next year. John would also become the first 40 year old World Champion since Ray Reardon in 1978 (Ray was 46 I believe).
Barry Hawkins is in his fourth semifinal in 5 years. Barry has been a bit of a late bloomer, winning his first ranking title 2012 at the age of 33 but he keeps getting better and stronger.
Ding Junhui could become the first Chinese World Champion. Getting that monkey off his back could possibly open the flood gates in the years to come. It's amazing to think he is only 30 years old, it feels like Ding has been around forever. It's been 12 years since he beat Stephen Hendry in the China Open.
Finally, Mark Selby could defend his title joining O'Sullivan, Hendry and Davis as one of four players to defend the title at the crucible. Not a bad company to be in for a snooker player.
I'm expecting a Selby/Higgins final, but either match I feel could be a toss up.

While the audio problem was going on they played this. VERY interesting. These guys have their s^*t TOGETHER. Qschool, challenge tour, NO entry fees for card holders, more $$, more tournaments. Pool will never hit these heights but at least they have a organization to look at for ideas. Barry Hearn is a mover/shaker of the highest caliber.
