Ding leads 11-8, he needs two more. Hawkins leads Maguire 6-4 on the other table.
Early 147 alert, 7 reds and blacks down from Ronnie.
A 146 from the quintessential snooker genius 
Ronnie OāSullivan with a desperate last chance to save himself. 12-9 and 63-0 down but the balls are in great position.
OāSullivan clears up to win the frame 73-63.
12-10.
That was a bad red Ding missed on what was effectively match ball.
Ronnie questioning Dings manhood,can the China man answer?
Full-time score from the Crucible Theatre:
Ding Xiaoping 13 Ronnie OāSullivan 10
Ding wraps up a 13-10 win with a 117 clearance.
That was a real high quality match. Selby v Ding looks like the de facto final.
Hawkins 8 Maguire 7
Iām very happy
OāSullivan was beaten. Heās not genuine and he worships money, a slithery bastard if ever there was one.
9-8. Thereās a fat guy sitting in the front row next to a sad bastard in a Norwich shirt. I reckon heās been at almost every session of the tournament.
12-9 Hawkins, one more needed.
Hawkins 13 Maguire 9.
No surprise that Maguire wilted and lost the last four frames. Fitness is key in snooker these days and his conditioning and strength looks terrible.
Heās a fat, sweaty beast.
Hawkins marches on!
I think I speak for all posters in hoping for a Higgins vs Ding final.

You donāt
Sorry pal but Higgins disgraced the game a few years back and for the life of me l have yet to fathom where a person can get a brass neck the like of his. He should have never been allowed play the game again.

Thatās a good point, pal.
Iād prefer John to beat Selby in the final rather than Ding.
But if John doesnāt win the title, Iād like to see Ding do it.
