Two 147s in the same day at PTC 11...

[SnookerFan]

Wow! Who saw that?

Both Ding and Matthew Stevens both scored a PTC 147 today.

Amazing stuff.

[Deepscrew]

bucket bags... :D

[DeanH]

So who gets the money from the roll-over pot?
There was another thread discussing 147s at the previous PTC and one player (Mike Dunn?) got it, the other - nothing.
<?>

[Deepscrew]

They'll get a packet of quavers each and they'll be happy, the lazy gits! [/barryhearn]

[cally]

Damn, was it being streamed today, i thought it started tomorrow... D;oh.


147's left right and centre here eh!....:)

[jim evans]

any links to live streaming anywere

[ferret]

I think they split £500 as there was no roll over because of Mike Dunns 147 in the last PTC, the player who got the 147 and will recieve nothing was because it was in the amateur rounds of the PTC, and there was not streaming of this match today.

After Ding got his 147 he also made a 133 in the match directly after.

[CueInAction]

5 147s knocked in, in the last 24 days. Thats some going. Mark Allen scoring heavily too, 3 centuries in his match vs Stuart Carrington

[jw147]

Think its in sheffield, but the last 16 onwards aint on until start of next year in germany.

Anyone know how jimmys match went against ross higgins? seen he was 2-0 up, then had to go out, just seen he only won 4-3.

[ferret]

Jimmy White 4 - 3 Ross Higgins

[cazmac1]

Are the players really that good or has the cut of the table just got to easy for these guys.

[Deepscrew]

The top boys are playing alot more match snooker dont forget...

[will]

is this ptc event live on world snooker tv

[beechy1212]

I've not been able to see any games. I thought that was what this livesnooker thing was all about? Poor really.

Jimmy White just beat Nigel Bond 4-3, after trailing 1-3.

[jw147]

Great win there for jimmy from 3-1 down, more ranking points in the bag

[will]

this ptc tournment is not on any uk tv stations,just sent world snooker tv a message waiting for a reply,may have to cancel my subscription if this service does not improve

[jw147]

Yes its a very poor performance from world snooker.

[missneworleans]

why no stream???

[cain29]

They'll get a packet of quavers each and they'll be happy, the lazy gits! [/barryhearn]

Hahaha love it

[cally]

Is this being streamed at at all over the weekend?

[PatBlock]

why no stream???

According to Wild on "The Island":

Because of technical Problem at the Venue in Munich Basically the Floor not strong Enough PTC 12 Will start at the WSA Sheffield this Week with Last 16 going over to Germany in January.

So I think that's why it's not being streamed at all, last minute changes and all that.

It would all have been ok but Steven Lee decided to play in this one.

[palukaville]

Why dont they just video it with a camcorder and put some highlights up later? FFS. Would love to see some vintage White :(.

[superman32]

250pounds for 147. There is something wrong with this sport.

[coomsey76]

Its not being streamed on liveworldsnooker.tv in Britain cause eurosport are showing it.....

But I reckon sportlemon will link to it bud...:)

[cantpotforshíte]

ding is on his way to making another ...

[cantpotforshíte]

He's done it. That's his second in three days.

[Camio]

Ding at it again!

Man, he missed getting the correct angle on the last 4 reds it seemed yet, he still made it.

[coomsey76]

How about that.... that's the second 147 for Ding in a week!!

Great stuff...!!

[cantpotforshíte]

It just shows that the extra tournaments are improving the standard at top level as well as further down the rankings.

I hardly ever watch the PTCs, but I had a quick look on Sportlemon to see if there was any snooker on a few weeks ago, and caught Ricky Waldon on 104 points and on his way to a 147. Tuned in again today to see if there was any on again (for the first time since then), and caught Ding on 88 points and well on his way ...

Maybe I should tune in more often.

[coomsey76]

Mostly definitely the players are a lot more match fit and its starting to show and the standard is getting a lot higher....!!

Great stuff to watch!!

[cally]

Wow, a 147's fest yuh...:)


And dom is using a different cue again for this tourney then, he's a boy aye.

Come on dom, looking like going 2-0 up on the murf...:)

[JeeSe]

Amazing stuff, I can't make a 20 break with pockets 3 times the size of the ball.
However the pockets seem more forgiving when watching Ding's 147 than they do on BBC coverage of the UK for example... Have templates been changed again? They seemed to go in off the jaws even at pace throughout the break. The pockets look more rounded than normal?

[cazmac1]

Their is someyhing wrong when these guys start making 147 for fun match tight pockets my F@:@.ing arse

[palukaville]

Ding Vs Hendry in two minutes... http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/14/42/v-344277.html

Cheers mate!

[cazmac1]

I don't think that cue suits hendry he should get a new one lol. I look at SH and his current game reminds me of myself so much. That last black he missed over the pocket is typical of a shot that I would miss playing with a touch of side to widen the potting angle. Now there are only two things that would cause that miss one is the throw of the cue causing the white to push off to the left before the side took or he is not getting the cue on the line of aim ( which is most likely as he misses a lot of mid range straight balls for no reason like me) I'm sure that SH can still be a force but has to let someone take his game a part and put it back together as he is doing something wrong but for what ever reason he just can't get to the bottom of it.

The great joe davis used to say that in order to make big breaks consistently you had to keep the white as close to the object ball as possible to make the next pot easy. To days players just play for areas and as long as they have 1/2 to 3/4 ball shot to go at they will make the pot. There are no difficult pots on these tables the white on the cushion used to be a difficult shot but rarely gets mentioned these days. I for one like to see big breaks but if break building becomes to easy it can become a bit of a turn off. I would like to see us go back to a tougher cut.

[PatBlock]

Cracking win for amateur Justin Astley against John Higgins, 4 - 3.

Looking at his body language(slumped in his chair looking miserable) he seemed resigned to lose the match 3 times in the last frame, his mind is definitely not right. He should really see a sports psychologist, he puts himself under a lot of pressure when playing the games elite players these days and when it goes wrong in a few frames "he gives up mentally".

[MalJackson]

doherty, higggins and ebdon all lost in deciding frames today to terrible opponents


interesting

[Rane]

And with Jamie Copes 147 today, it´s also 2 in PTC 12

[likahokeith]

What the hell, this is the crazy month.
Seven 147s appeared within a month.
