Yep, it's great to watch, isn't it?

96% pot success is just daft.

Anyone know why the market for this would be suspended on betfair?

I thought the whole point on betfair was that you could bet on things while they were happening!

What with Judd out, Mark williams out, I'm hoping Hendry does well.

I had twenty quid on Ronnie, when he beat mark i laid off some off the bet so i am guaranteed £10 if he wins and no loss if he doesn't.

Now i am hoping to do the same with Mcquire if he wins his next match.

Small time betting, but it makes it more interesting.

Who's in the semis now chaps? I've lost track a bit due to work commitments.

Quarter final draw is; Stephen Maguire v Stephen Hendry, Matthew Stevens v Ryan Day, Jamie Jones v Ali Carter and Ronnie O'Sullivan v Neil Robertson.

Surprised that Stephen Hendry has retired, think he was still more than capable of getting to the final of a tournament. Perhaps he couldn't be bothered with all the travelling involved in the game at the moment.

Watching O'Sullivan today,i have to say he is on fire,wouldn't be surprised if he won it again this year!

[Marcia]

This thread has gone quiet,is anyone watching it?

Yep, Ronnie is playing some amazing snooker at the moment, think this is the best I've seen him play for years!

Ken Doherty was saying that this afternoon,although this evening's session was a bit scrappy because they were both playing tactical.

Congratulations to Stephen Hendry. A true killer instinct and a wonderful talent. Not adored, no 'X-Factor', but the finest player I've ever watched, the very model of a professional and a consummate winner.

I always preferred John Higgins (until that incident), but if you were to engineer a snooker champion in a laboratory, it'd be Stephen Hendry you'd create. What a psyche.

I can only imagine the sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach of the best players in the world when they're drawn against Hendry. To keep that up for nearly 30 years is a stunning achievement.

[Shuvi McTupya]

I should have been braver..

By doing some backing and then laying off bets I will now win if Ronnie, Ali, Or Steven win and i will lose nothing if the other guy wins

Unfortunately we are only talking about £10-£15 depending on who wins, but it is now a risk free situation.

Betfair is cool!

Carter was playing sublime snoooker in the first 4 frames of that session,then lost the next straight 3 frames,hoped he was going to finish Maguire off tonight,looking forward to tomorrows sessions now

What odds did you get?

I originally had him at 6.5 but then I started messing around so i will now win whatever happens, but not much...I should have just let my original bet run

[Blackpuddin]

What's with the lady ref sizing up every shot? And more to the point, where's her cleavage?

[Blackpuddin]

Carter's a broken man.

He just can't get going today.

Ronnie is playing with a porpoise, surely that is cheating.....
