The China Snooker Open Championship in-game...

[Seaweed]

Yu Mang Wi just told me the crowd was entering a frenzy, and everyone in the gymnasium started chanting "Carter! Carter! Carter!"

I just can't imagine him not winning.

The only thing that saddens me about this is that there isn't an snooker forum here at SBR. I was looking for one for about 20 minutes, before starting the thread here.

I know, I really don't understand how they don't have one OR even in their SBR sportsbook. Baffling. The diaspora of billiards fans stretches around the world, and SBR is not just for local tournaments. Should be a petition.

[Seto]

williams looks frustrated. i think he's done.

[The Giant]

41-55 win in this frame. 3 frames in a row for Carter. Should close this out soon enough.

Shame on me for not trusting you Giant.

No worries. Snookers has been a longtime passion of mine, but you had no idea of knowing.

I'm just hoping he finishes Williams right here. I don't want this dragging on.

[Seto]

Ouch. Rough start to this frame has Carter a live +200 dog to win in. This could be the moment for a live bet.

[Seto]

This frame is all but over. Carter hasn't even had a chance to attempt a shot here.

[Seaweed]

williams looks frustrated. i think he's done.

I hope you're right but don't jinx it. Remember what happened in 2011 when he blew it? He better not this time. I have stayed up all night for this but it's worth it.

[Seto]

He's had nothing but easy shots too. Unbelievable.

8th is gonna be key.

[The Giant]

I'm getting a little nervous. There are rumors that Carter may have a blister on his shooting hand. I'm just hoping he can finish him and overcome this minor but significant injury.

This is what I want to see from Carter in the next 20 minutes:

[Seto]

Williams scores the first century break of the match. He's leading 114-0 in this frame.

Carter can only watch. I'm sure he's already plotting the 8th while Williams is finishing a job that is basically done.

Carter will win the 8th. I threw 25 bucks on it at -125.

[Seaweed]

He's had nothing but easy shots too. Unbelievable.

8th is gonna be key.

Honestly, I can't handle this. My heart is beating when i refresh the scores. I got a lot on this. Carter should play more defensive in the next frame.

[Seto]

Ouch. Williams just hit a great shot there.

[Seaweed]

Williams scores the first century break of the match. He's leading 114-0 in this frame.

Good luck.

[The Giant]

I don't need to tell you guys this, but the 8th frame in this match is pivotal.

If Carter doesn't close him out, I'm not sure he'll be able to recapture his early dominance.

This is what snooker is all about. I love this rush.

[Seaweed]

Seto, what frame are we in now? Update on score

[Seto]

Tricky situation for Williams here. Carter should get the "possession" back and dominate from here.

Come on guy make your countryman proud.

[Seto]

Unbelievable. Williams hits another great shot and is now a clear favorite to win the 8th

[Seto]

Seto, what frame are we in now? Update on score

3-4 Carter. 8th frame. 42-0 Williams in the frame.

[Seto]

Anyone like any of the 730 am est time snooker matches?

This is what I want to see from Carter in the next 20 minutes:

Don't forget in 2003 he was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Crohn's disease. He hasn't been the same since but has played well since 2011.

[Seto]

81-0 in the 8th.

Guys, it's the 4th quarter of basketball, the 5th set of tennis, penalties in soccer.

Time for Carter to step up. 9th frame time.

[The Giant]

Don't forget in 2003 he was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Crohn's disease. He hasn't been the same since but has played well since 2011.

I know, but he started seeing a new doctor in December of 2012, and they said he was making great strides. They were a little worried about his endurance, however. Clearly that is showing now. I wish they had first-half lines on snooker.

[Seaweed]

3-4 Carter. 8th frame. 42-0 Williams in the frame.

Thanks for the updates. Really hard to find anything. You're the best

[The Giant]

Anyone like any of the 730 am est time snooker matches?

Seaweed has been looking over these matches all evening. I'm sure he'll have something, but right now our focus is on Carter.

[Seaweed]

Mind is only on this right now, don't know what The Giant has up his sleeve though. This is my only bet. I need this!

[Seto]

Finally a good start for Carter. Moves from -125 to -150.

[Seto]

-225

My pleasure. I've found sleep hard to come by after my first bad stretch in a while gambling-wise.

Have been on a tear in 2013, up 7.3K. Lost 1.3K in 2 days. Adamant to get it back

[The Giant]

We need this, guys. Come on Carter. One time, baby. One time!

[Seaweed]

Unreal! How did he make that shot??

[Seto]

Ouch. Miscue from Carter there. Now a +125 dog.

[The Giant]

Slow and steady, Seto.

Rideout the losing streak, winners are just around the corner.

[Seto]

Williams just can't miss now. Shame no-one can block or contest his shots in this sport

[The Giant]

I just heard about the miscue. Unbelievable. This will be my worst snooker beat ever.

[Seaweed]

Finally a good start for Carter. Moves from -125 to -150.

That's refreshing. Keep the good news coming! I was watching the preview show and in warm ups William's outfit seemed to be a little tight on him. His dress pants must be making him sweat profusely under those lights.
