I only caught the last maybe 20 minutes and I dread to imagine how interminable it had been up to then.

Can't see Yan drawing Mark Williams into that kind of stand-off

Well done to Selby though, a better defence than seemed likely given his ongoing issues.

Day Nine.

Second round overnight scores:
Judd Trump (4) 10-6 Anthony McGill (13)
Neil Robertson (3) 7-9 Jack Lisowski (14)
Kyren Wilson (5) 8-8 Stuart Bingham (12)
John Higgins (6) 11-5 Noppon Saengkham

Glad Kyren came back, at 8-5 I feared the worst. He even had a bash at a 147 in the last frame.

Lisowski is in the state Trump used to be in, so 25 frames with Robertson might be just what he needs to kick on.

Higgins turned up the gas on poor old Noppy.

Day Ten.

Afternoon results:

John Higgins (6) bt Noppon Saengkham 13-7
Stuart Bingham (12) bt Kyren Wilson (5) 13-9

Damn

147 - Robertson, quality

Yeah agree a excellent 147 for Neil doesn't happen often at the crucible always special and possibly walking away with £55k
