hahaha "i love willie thorne" on a piece of paper

[Looki]

so has bingham lost 5-0 then?

Yes he has indeed.

I have to say that Stuart was a little unlucky on couple of occasions when developing the reds. He was also unlucky in that sense that Williams punished him really hard for his mistakes and misfortunes.

[Looki]

Watching highlights of the Williams match while waiting for the other match to start, Williams is cueing really well and looks to be like his old self.

I hope that he goes on with this tendency! Looks like his right wrist is not fully recovered yet. He shaked his hand quite often. Looked as if it's still a bit sore or something.

Mark whitewashes Bingham and now is on course to meet one of his best friends: Stephen Hendry

Let's hope the match's quality will be higher than it was in last year's worlds. Stephen played nowhere up to his own standards and Mark struggled with his cue tip..

What a lineup it is going to be? Higgins vs O'Sullivan, Hendry vs Williams..

that buffet dinner looks fun

what a shot onto the blue by mark! fantastic stuff - so far the standard has been quite poor and scrappy in this tournament but it's early days and players produce their best later on.

mark is looking fantastic to do well.

Yeah, all credit to Burnett, without playing that well he's managed to make it all square going into the MSI.

You would still expect Ronnie to win and win well, but with the amount of shocks we've had already so far in this Grand Prix you just never know..

Yes, you never know (and you can't blame the random draw for that) That would give John Higgins a massive opportunity to really extend his lead. Ronnie still big favourite and he is normally very good in close matches.

Mark Williams looks to be cueing very well. Looking on course for 5-0

[montoya10]

The stats showed a 96% pot success for Williams. Might be up to 97% now.

Pity I missed the whole match

Great to see Mark in this form though

[Looki]

I've been watching it and he indeed deserves the win, looks like a whitewash.

EDIT: This was for johnno147

[Odrl]

anyone been watching the other match, and if williams deserves the 4-0 lead?
