Brecel has won the first three frames with some ruthless snooker.
Selby was in at the last but he broke down on 35. Brecel made a great century.

And one more after. If Brecel closes this off then this is the session.
13-8

This is wild.

Woah. I think Virgo just shat himself live on air.
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:12 (one year ago) link
that doesn't sound like the kind of follow through viewers will be wanting to see
― calzino, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:19 (one year ago) link
yeah should have potted that particular brown
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:21 (one year ago) link
Selby should get back to this. Can't believe he won't.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:29 (one year ago) link
need to do some mind games
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:30 (one year ago) link
I'm missing all the action, prefer when it's on during working hours!
― ledge, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:35 (one year ago) link
No mind games from Selby needed. Eventually wins the frame after a 63 break, which included a great red to the middle. 13-9.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:57 (one year ago) link
now selby's safety shots are off
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:24 (one year ago) link
on enough though
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:31 (one year ago) link
and brecel's pots are off
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:32 (one year ago) link
He eventually grinds it out. Brecel began with a 41 break and didn't convert it. 13-10
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:33 (one year ago) link
Beautiful long red from Brecel. And then some shots to keep the break going when he needed to.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:45 (one year ago) link
Another century
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:46 (one year ago) link
Lots of errors from both of them at the last
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:56 (one year ago) link
What a masterful clearance Brecel
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:08 (one year ago) link
15-10...just in awe at sown of these shots.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:09 (one year ago) link
been at work so haven't watched, but what mental strength from Brecel to come out and do this after being pegged back last night
― contrapuntal aversion (Noodle Vague), Monday, 1 May 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link
he must prevail. three measly frames. don't give him a sniff
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:32 (one year ago) link
Excellent response from Selby after another excellent break by Brecel. He had to make it with balk colours at the beginning.
Two frames shared.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 18:42 (one year ago) link
they've both got the jitters.
― ledge, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:15 (one year ago) link
Great clearance from Selby..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:20 (one year ago) link
Beautiful opening shot from Selby, nothing but net
― crisp, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:24 (one year ago) link
If he gets another 147 does he get 2/3rds of the prize money?
― crisp, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:26 (one year ago) link
Boo
― crisp, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:27 (one year ago) link
Shaun Murphy is so annoying
― Eyeball Kicks, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:31 (one year ago) link
One visit snooker from Selby. 16-13 at the interval.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:32 (one year ago) link
Glad Murphy is off, do prefer Hendry.
OTOH Virgo is on for Dennis Taylor.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:57 (one year ago) link
Selby is getting stronger
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:06 (one year ago) link
16-14..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
flukey bastard!this is why I hate sport.
― ledge, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:17 (one year ago) link
He wasn't going to leave anything tbh. It happens!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:20 (one year ago) link
Just had to check that Jean van de Velde wasn't also Belgian (he was French).
― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Monday, 1 May 2023 20:24 (one year ago) link
Lol that wouldn't be the same thing anyway.
Brecel is in trouble. Did say if this goes close I think it's Selby and it's sadly proving to be the case.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
is he worse than Higgins? nobody is but
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:31 (one year ago) link
Selby and Higgins are both all time greats lol
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:33 (one year ago) link
give up on the long pots ffs
― ledge, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:33 (one year ago) link
Brecel's game is looking very shabby at the moment. He said he doesn't use a B game but I don't think he has one.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:34 (one year ago) link
Now..
Ok that 50 break could be what Brecel needs.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:42 (one year ago) link
blimey, a lot going on here. It's Brecel's to lose now
― calzino, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:47 (one year ago) link
Selby flukes that red then misses the brown...snookers required
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:48 (one year ago) link
Brecel one away
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:50 (one year ago) link
Brecel played some really good safety in that one
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:51 (one year ago) link
I meant worse than Higgins in terms of their ineluctable grit, their monstrosity
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:52 (one year ago) link
