CHINA OPEN 2010: Only ranked players have advanced so far...

[MilfDriller]

Tonight's action. All seeded players have advanced so far. Seeds are in parnthss.


(1) EBDON -109 , TRUMP -101

(6) CARTER -318, CHUANG +279

(16) KING -177, WATTANA +159

(11) HENDRY -180, HIGGINSON +162


Both Wattana and Higginson won their Wild Card round 5-0 to get into the Main Draw. King is a quirky guy and mentally unstable. His mother is in jail for life for murdering her cousin.

I now view you as a good luck charm, Unicorn.

Mark King v James Wattana (1-2, all in the 90’s)
If somebody said to you, right, one seed out of the sixteen will get knocked out in Round 1, you would probably look who Mark King was playing. This is a bit unfair as he is becoming something of a stalwart in there and he does that by winning these type of matches. The Thaiphoon and Phoenix from the Flames Watanna is still a handy customer though and I would expect this match to be close, perhaps even go down to a decider. I have a sneaking suspicion that Watanna might pull off a shock here.


Stephen Hendry v Andrew Higginson (0-0)

The Widnes Warrior Higginson (I think we can safely assume that unless there is an English Civil War in the pipeline, he’s categorised as ‘nickname safe’ for a while) powered to a 5-0 victory in the wildcard round but didn’t do anything spectacular. Hendry has been busy putting his hand in clay and collecting toy cars and flowers since he arrived in China, he’s even been seen coaching some pretty little Chinese girls. But has he had any time to practice? He has said that he is treating this tournament seriously and not just as a warm up for the World Championship and I’m prepared to take a chance that he’ll come through this tricky first match.

Wattana 72-22 to start it , 0-0

1-0 , 30-17

[MilfDriller]

Yep, Wattsy looking good. 2-0 the Asian Sensation.

[MilfDriller]

Higginson gets very lucky as the cue ball rebounds into the perfect position for him to be able to pot the black

Higg , 1-1 , 0-0
Watt, 2-0 , 0-40 .... 0-70


Need Watts to take the 4th.... or at very least the 5th.

[MilfDriller]

Mark King is in real trouble now as Wattana doubles his lead to 2-0, and he just looks like he means business today, the Thai player. King is going to have to start taking full advantage of his slim time at the table if he is going to turn this around

Of course, right after that King went on a rampage.

2-1 Watts

[MilfDriller]

Higgs , 1-2
Watts, 2-1

Higgs prolly should be down 3-0. He'll go packing. Wattsy it is, then.

[MilfDriller]

16-17 .... real battle now

this frame is important. winner of this frame prolly take the match... 3-1 or 2-2

[MilfDriller]

Tight fvcking frame. King takes it.

Watts up 3-2.

If Watts takes this next frame, it should be officially on ice.

[MilfDriller]

Higgs 2-4. cooked

Watts 3-2 , 63-46 .... almost

[MilfDriller]

4-2 , 0-16

dude would have to roll in 3 straight. like my chances

[MilfDriller]

poster #169 wins 30 pts if Butler covers spread.... plus smaller prizes.. plus poster #179 can gather all the other posters' winnings if certain result happens in the Butler game.

don't know what the hell is wrong w/ that.

[MilfDriller]

4-2 , 0-70

King smoking this frame. Don't pull a Ricky Martin, Watts

[Shortstop]

I agree, there's nothing wrong with that. You're generating traffic, they should encourage these types of things!

[MilfDriller]

Watts 4-3 , 0-0


just needing one of these last 3. 2 more shots.

[MilfDriller]

yeah, not sure what the deal is.

some sbr staff were commenting to me about how they were extremely excited about their new Nazi Badges that they can use around the office. I'm not a big fan, tho.

Prolly a false rumor, tho. I don't think SBR would do that.
