Gary Wilson playin some decent pool... he's been practicing, no doubt. position play is not very strong but he pockets too straight lol

Thanks. We had some problems with flights and stuff when got to Lugo. Got in hotel 5am, 2 hour sleep and morning match.. Did not go well. I got lucky with walkover and did sleep 17 hours last night. I hope i can get my game on next match

Aranas gives it back with an attempted bank and scratched.... man that was tough to watch. Not sure he should have banked that ball...

aranas is a great banker, i think it was the right shot selection. maybe nerves got to him, or it was because of he played with a borrowed cue. a fury cue at that.

Those side pockets look scary. The bank looks easier to me given the precision needed to make the cut under pressure. Clearly not as easy as it looks though.

lil kaci currently leading 6-3 over zheng

These latest odds are more reasonable

Watch out for this Austrian gang. They are lurking below the radar ready to pounce and win something big this year

There is a new K-bros in town

poolmanis getting a shoutout from phil yates. leading 5-1 according to yates.

a little worse tv table scheduling this event. pia filler vs unknown spanish guy, that's always going to be a slow affair. she is one of the slowest players in the field. 5-1 there also.

Losers side match Kristina Zlateva leads Mika 3-1. If Kristina somehow upset Mika, we may see a Mika tantrum

Yes, she's appeared twice in row on TV table.
Surprised that stronger female players 700+ whose significant other are playing here did not come- such as Amber Chen (Capito), Margaret Fefilova (Styer), Kristina Tkach (Gorst), Silviana Lu (Yapp). Some of them will have decent shot getting into last 64 with so much dead money in first stage

JJ said he was pretty sure Billy didn’t attend.

I wish they would use FF or F instead of 0 when it is a forfeit, so we could distinguish between a forfeit and a match played with a zero score.

Her match yesterday with Styer (also often slow) took a bit over 2 ¼ hours for the 16 games.

Agree. Matchroom are top bollox on most things but they miss a trick or two.
