Home Nations £1m tournament

This tournament is the cutoff for the World Grand Prix, and only the top 32 in the one year list are eligible for that one. Among them will be Chang Bingyu, who defeated Kyren 4-1 and shoots to no.29 on the 1YL. What a fantastic comeback season for him after his ban!

Mark Allen made a decisive 58 break in the decider to beat Zhang Anda 4-3. Zhou Yuelong made a 133 break in the decider to beat Stuart Bingham 4-3.

Mark Selby looked invincible. Runs of 94, 104 and 71 helped Selby whitewash Noppon without letting him pot a ball. My man to watch Jiang Jun beat Thepchaiya 4-1.

Quarter final lineup:

Chris Wakelin vs Zhou Yuelong
Jiang Jun vs Matthew Selt
Chang Bingyu vs Mark Selby
Mark Allen vs Joe O’Connor

Fair dos. Jiang Jun is really holding up his end of your attempts to promote him. Nice to see a few lesser lights reaching the later stages.

The Scottish Open throwing up so many surprises again this year.

Chang Bingyu did it! He got the upset against Mark Selby! Selby has won the last 2 tournaments he's entered, but Chang put an end to Selby's winning streak, winning the last 2 frames with runs of 95 and 77 to win 5-3.

Matthew Selt is having a bit of renaissance. He's had some coaching from Chris Henry, and has been practicing with John Higgins, and with runs of 104, 92, 54 and 56, he beat Jiang Jun 5-2. Jiang has had a fine run in this tournament and hopefully, he can build from that. Selt can get in the top 32 on the 1 YL at the expense of Jak Jones if he gets to the final.

Chris Wakelin is trying to revive his season after being knocked out of the top 16. He beat Zhou Yuelong 5-3. Mark Allen beat Joe O'Connor.

Semi finals:

Chris Wakelin v Matthew Selt
Chang Bingyu v Mark Allen

What a fascinating pair of semi finals.
There is something about this event.
It just keeps providing endless intrigue.

Selt's probably glad to concentrate on Snooker after spending Halloween hanging upside down

A pretty open final 4, though Allen seems quite a big favourite.
