You also don't know he was filthy rich at the time - you don't know what his circumstances are. The "journalist" who setup the sting gave evidence that benefited Higgins - what does that tell you?Last edited by gavpowell; 6 May 2019, 12:52 AM.

Even if John wins the third session 6-2, that would make it 14-11 Trump going into the final session... Hmm, will be interesting to see what happens, but I just can't see it going down to a couple of frames

JH has done it before as previously mentioned above:
and I hope he does, purely for the sake of the match - I have no problem with either winning, there are positives for both outcomes but I want to see a great come back, tussle and a classic match that we can all say we saw that one - to our grandchildren...

Well with John you never say never, so just stuck £5 on him at 11/1 just in case the impossible happens, already have £10 on Trump at 6/1 from the very start, so now i can relax knowing i'm in the money either way. not often you can say that

I'm a similar age to John and I wouldn't consider myself old but certainly not a spring chicken anymore and fatigue becomes a factor. John looked bright eyed and bushy tailed this afternoon but soon started to look tired and dejected. Judd isn't really a young gun himself but he still has over a decade gap and it looks like that is helping. I admire him for the way he's playing because he hasn't taken risks and has potted some incredible balls. That thin red to the top right corner over halfway across the table was a turning point. I hope John can end Judds run to make sure there is a final session. I don't remember a final session of the WC ending at the 3rd session but I remember a few that were over after 2 or 3 frames in the evening session.Last edited by MrRottweiler; 5 May 2019, 11:04 PM.

Can Judd continue to pot so well? Can John regain some confidence? He missed a fair few balls you'd normally put your house on him to get. Crucible pressure, wonderful stuff. :smile:
