@Matty_Hislop, @Sidney - has Neil Robertson had a poor season? Surprised to see a player of his quality only seeded 9. I believe its only happened on one occasion that the 9th seed won the World Championship - Neil Robertson in 2010.
Heās had a very poor year by his standards, only one ranking victory in a minor event in Latvia. Heās not done well at all in the big events most notably crashing out in the first round at the UK Open to also-ran Peter Lines.
Robertson 5-1 Saengkham
Carter 7-9 Dott
Graeme wins 10-7. What a magnificent warrior he is. With Judd Trump in real danger of going out, the bottom half of the draw could really open up for Graeme. I wouldnāt rule out another run to the final.
Xiao leads Day 9-3, one more frame required for a second round date with Mark Selby.
Barry Hawkins and Tom Ford have shared the opening 2 frames.
Xiao has beaten Day 10-4.
Very impressive from the Chinaman.
I think Trump and McLeod will be brought back out now to finish their tie.
They resume at 9.00

Trump reduces the deficit to 9-8
McLeod just missed a great chance to clear up and win but missed an easy red. Trump then incredibly missed the same red into the same pocket.
McLeod is back in with a 50 point lead and the game at his mercy.
Trump was 1/25 to win this, it will be one of the biggest shocks in Crucible history if McLeod holds his nerve.
Trump is out.
McLeod wins 10-8
McLeod was 125/1 when 4-0 down
This is a tremendous result for us John Higgins backers. 
Iād imagine he was close to 1000 on the exchanges.
Great result.

Higgins is a stain on snooker. He should be serving a life ban.

Tom Ford is having a mental breakdown. Why the fuck did he play that plant?

Ford has lost the plot here, some wild shots. Reminiscent of Quentin Hann when he lost it, the Crucible can do this to you.
Murphy leads OāSullivan 2-1. This should be a cracker.
