Smith getting walloped.

Poor performance from the Bullyboy. Averaged under 84 and deservedly whitewashed.

He seems to be on the slide along with Wright.

Big fan of Smith, and whist I think Snakebite's slide is at a higher rate, agree that Michael is not playing that great at the moment.

[ILAD]

Well Duzza threw that away.

[ssjsa]

Durrant cruising at 4-1 up and looking all over the winner.

Tensed up a little after that, as mentioned by Joe Cullen in his interview, but credit to The Rockstar for that 130 check out in the deciding leg.

Definitely a learning curve for Glen.

[ILAD]

Well Duzza threw that away.

Bottom half was wide open great chance to make a final from it and he completely bottled it.

As for Smith he has never won a major and unless he sorts out his ability to hit doubles when put under pressure he never will.

Good performance from Mensur and Ratty was unlucky he drew MvG. Huybrechts perhaps to come through a weaker bottom half.

As you know Duzza is a slow starter and that is his big weakness, yet tonight he flew out the blocks. A big opportunity missed.

[Bomber]

opposing duzza in tv games when he is fav could be friendly this year, he was 1/2 before the start and seeded Cullen was out to 7/2 just because duzza held his throw

There's no curve. It's a brick wall. He'll either smash his way through and be amongst the top players, or be just another talented player who doesn't have the temperament to be one of the elite.

His age will work against him - he knows he hasn't got long left at this level

[Mensur Suljovic Fan]

Cant remember ever seeing such a contrast in quality between two halves of a draw

Current form, you'd probably back Smith to make the final. Hard to tell because Hopp has missed so many tournaments and Cullen is notably frustrating though!

[ILAD]

Get in their Karel!

Just need Kim H to win now for a nice little Cross, Karel and him treble.

Oh well cashed out for a very small profit at 5-3.

That was an odd game both seemed to be playing too slow to benefit their games. Kim also was too concerned about upsetting the crowd he hampered his own game by not being aggressive.

Can you post the betting slip?

If I wanted/could be bothered to yes. But i dont see the point I made less than £950 from it

Was only a £375 e/W bet at just over 36-1 just to make the watching a little more interesting could have cashed out for £6000 or something before the last match if i wanted too but didn't expect Kim to be so downbeat during the match.

Whitlock got a good chance to make the final a regain some momentum now though I hope Karel comes through that half.

Ok

Big chance for Hopp. His 2018 win has dropped off 12 month OOMs, so a good run here would help him a lot.

I have a feeling for Huybrechts to come through it. Played very well v Wade and when in he hits form and gets confidence back he is a top quality player. Think over a one day period he is the most consistent who has experince of getting to the finals of these events out of the bottom half players discounting the masssively out of form Whitlock. The tophalf is ludicrous place any of them barring Ted Evetts in the bottom and I would probably make them favorite to come through it.

Well our predictions turned out well lol

[Mensur Suljovic Fan]

What's the best an Eastern European/Nordic-Baltic qualifier has done? Anyone got past the last 8? Obviously Ratajski had that year where he qualified for almost everything, but I don't remember him ever going on a particularly deep run ever
