Clears up with a century: 15-11. xp = the last session was very quick, hardly any tactical stuff. I'd expect that to crop in if Higgins can get close.

Only action I'll be able to see from this tournament, but bring it on you senior citizens.

Williams found a plant to get the break going lol.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:32 (seven years ago)
(still Williams-Higgins feels like I'm watching a forgettable 2008 semis or something. Except they're even uglier)
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:33 (seven years ago)
well well that was frame ball, tough red to the middle. I'd fancy John to clear up from here.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:34 (seven years ago)
Terrific Brown to yellow from John, forcing position there.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:38 (seven years ago)
You are John fucking Virgo and I claim my 5 quid
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:39 (seven years ago)
Fantastic clearance - this could still be a classic final: 15-12
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:40 (seven years ago)
Mark Williams looks like he's going to have a cardiac arrest tonight.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:40 (seven years ago)
LOL why are you attacking me :-)
Sorry, just banter :) Love your commentary, am watching meself
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 7 May 2018 18:41 (seven years ago)
cool, promise I won't go "where is the cue ball going?" in CAPS as if I'm shouting.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:43 (seven years ago)
what a pink to the middle from Williams, just pulled it out of the fire to try and make something happen for him tonight.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:44 (seven years ago)
47 break, didn't get anything from the split - good safety...he'll need more of that to get to the finish line.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:47 (seven years ago)
Higgins has left a tough red
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:48 (seven years ago)
misses it!
not floating in atm. Feeling for Williams, he is playing quite well and not doing a lot wrong.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:49 (seven years ago)
great shot from green to the bunch of reds - should clear up, again.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:53 (seven years ago)
great recovery shot from green to the final red.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:57 (seven years ago)
Astonishing: 15-13
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 18:59 (seven years ago)
Terrific (3-ball) plant from Higgins, now behind the green. On top of this safety exchange
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:04 (seven years ago)
51 break from Higgins and puts the brown safe.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:13 (seven years ago)
god this is a tough red - and misses it. Higgins now to win this
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:15 (seven years ago)
This is more impressive than Williams winning the first four frames in the afternoon session. Williams had actually a good couple of breaks.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:16 (seven years ago)
Mid-session often stops this so we'll see. Should be good.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:17 (seven years ago)
Such a classic crucible comeback, its what you get in this sport you don't get anywhere else. So many SF and Fs where there was no way back and then...the hunter often becomes the hunted.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:19 (seven years ago)
higgins comeback on a human face forever
― imago, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:48 (seven years ago)
This is huge now..Williams on 40, pack split, should win.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:49 (seven years ago)
oh dear..
Terrific opener from John, just fearing the worst now.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:50 (seven years ago)
15-15
I think that's such a key frame. When Williams allowed John in the prev times there were awkward positions or not quite right splits. That chance was really, really good.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 19:58 (seven years ago)
Not quite the cue ball control under the severest of pressures.
At the next another good chance for Williams. Its just heartbreaking to watch, can he break this cycle of defeat?
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:00 (seven years ago)
Another 41 break, he is not over the line..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:01 (seven years ago)
We haven't had much safety at all so far
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:04 (seven years ago)
fucking hell man get over the line.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:06 (seven years ago)
finally! Williams back in front
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:08 (seven years ago)
Terrific long pot at the next from Williams
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:15 (seven years ago)
damn
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:16 (seven years ago)
Another terrific long pot but now its a tough pink
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:19 (seven years ago)
lots of cold blooded potting here
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:20 (seven years ago)
had to play it cool after that - this is so good. One frame away now.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:26 (seven years ago)
fuck me that pink
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:36 (seven years ago)
one pot from the fucking world title - and John has no obstacles to the clearance.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:37 (seven years ago)
holy fuck
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:39 (seven years ago)
blimey
― Thomas NAGL (Neil S), Monday, 7 May 2018 20:41 (seven years ago)
FUCK OFF
― imago, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:41 (seven years ago)
Unbelievable
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:49 (seven years ago)
this fucking break
― imago, Monday, 7 May 2018 20:50 (seven years ago)
Meh
