2025 World Snooker Championship (No More DAZN)

[JAM]

Williams rocks the pocket with the red, almost goes in the opposite corner. Crowd goes oooh, aaah. John to the talbe with this long shot and makes it. He is on his way to victory.

 

[markjames]

oh no

 

[markjames]

how about them apples?
who woulda guessed

Higgins missing the blue match ball was crazy, he'll leave with 50 000 pounds, that blue putting him into the next round would have guaranteed him 100 000

a 50 000 pounds missed shot, damn

 

[JAM]

It came down to one ball after both players fumbled. Williams makes it. One of the best deciders I've ever witnessed.

 

[JAM]

Winner!

a finish fitting for two absolute legends. that was epic

 

[CanadianGuy]

interesting to me how the announcers indicated John did not fully commit on the blue playing with partial safety in mind while just a few days earlier Ronnie stated John would have many more titles if he played more aggressive

John makes that shot far more often than not, should have gone all in to win the match imo

 

[gregcantrall]

Hard to pick a favorite between Higgins and Williams. Marks reputation for being The Class Clown makes for fun viewing. Would love to see him win it all. Of course I gotta root for Ronnie too. What fun. Judd and Luca next!

Last 10 minutes of that last frame here:

 

[skogstokig]

luca going in guns blazing. two frames in short order. trump looks unsettled

 

[garczar]

dear town of sheffield

after all these years of seeing snooker players waiting around for their next match to begin, why aren’t the streets around the crucible full of temples and chapels and churches and mosques?

wtf???????

 

[gregcantrall]

The ability to watch one table on the TV and the other on my phone makes this broadcast A HUGE bargain. The comments are such a bonus.
This so reminds me of our one week vacations to watch the Reno Sands 9 ball at least once a year back in the 80s. Started in 84 at the Ceasars Tahoe tournament in 84. This shall be my Staycation. What fun.

 

[gregcantrall]

My Luca against the field bet is looking better now. Shrug Go Belgian Bullet!

 

[BeiberLvr]

Give him a few months to learn the game and table differences, and I bet Luca would be really fun to watch play 9 ball.

Yes but why or what could tempt him? The difference in money is huge.

 

[OverTheNut]

Yes but why or what could tempt him? The difference in money is huge.

Let him openly drink beer while he is playing and I reckon he'd be up for it.

What a last session. I like Judd - but man - Luca is proper box office when he's playing like that. Incredible snooker.

 

[gregcantrall]

I haven't looked to see when it could happen but The Class Clown vs The Belgian Bullet would be my favorite match up. And then There's Ronnie. Yikes what fun.

luca turned judd trump into the responsible adult in the room. that, and the triangle chalk, is probably uncomfortable for judd
