yep your right I had meant ranking. the Brazilian Masters being an invitational pro event

[Odrl]

Yes (the only other last 16 was a PTC in 2010)
I also think it is the farthest for any Brazilian in a pro event ever?

Figueiredo got to the quarter-finals of the Brazil Masters in 2011, which I think would count as a "pro" event, although it obviously didn't carry any ranking points. :smile:

Hussein steals the 2nd frame from Carter 75-70 after giving Carter about 20 points from a 4 cushion snooker which he got on the 5th attempt

For the Welsh fans, Lee Walker coasting to take the 5th frame against Dott.

I'm pretty sure about this as well. Who else should have been that far?

Santos didn't did he?
Can you see who Igor has next?

Found it, Stuart Carrington, will try to get to that one later.

solid play by Igor Figueiredo to beat Dominic Dale 4-1.

Great for him. First time he gets that far in a ranking event I think.

Well done and another win for Barry. I've been watching him like a hawk

This tournament is also interesting, cause we are now closing in on the World Championship and it's one of the last chances to gain important points to move into the Top 16 of the World Rankings and get seeded for the Crucible. And the fight now is very close. There are 14 players who should be pretty safe.

But if I calculated right there are nine players who fight for the last two places:
15. Day 194.587 (who did not qualify for the China Open, so he has no chance to gain points there)
16. Perry 192.800 (out of Welsh Open already - against McGill)
17. Gould 192.475 (out of Welsh Open already)
18. McGill 187.625
19. Gilbert 183.750 (out of Welsh Open already - against Day)
20. Walden 182.675 (out of Welsh Open)
21. King 176.950
22. Holt 172.475 (out of Welsh Open)
23. Mark Williams 165.475 (out of Welsh Open)

The rankings already include the 4000 points gained for reaching the main draw of the China Open.
So with a deep run here Day, McGill and King could gain precious points.

So everyone of them lost, changing nothing about that calculation.

Absolute pearler from Darren Morgan during the Trump match. Jud rattles a pink in the jaws of the middle bag, "Jud's unlucky there. He's made the pot but the pink hasn't gone in."

Keep taking the pills, Darren.

Classic.
