Haikou World Open Qualifiers

[sberry]

No real shocks so far but 18yo Ratchayothin Yotharuck (I know, who?) is at the table on a break to force a decider against Judd Trump who cannot even scare first year newbies who have zero experience at this level

Giant-kill approaching....?

I saw some of this match and I thought Ratchayothin played very well, controlled and confident, better than Judd who seemed desperate to play the shots and often missed.
The score was Judd 5-3 win, but a good performance by the youngster, look forward to watching him in the near future.

It seemed like Judd's mind was somewhere else as he missed
a lot of very simple pots. The youngster did miss several easy
pots as well and sometimes when an opponent struggles it can
impact the entire frame.
