Snooker World Championships

Day Five.

Results:
Noppon Saengkham bt Shaun Murphy (10) 10-4
Mark Selby (7) bt Jordan Brown 10-6
Jamie Clarke bt Mark Allen (4) 10-8

Overnight scores:
Stephen Maguire (9) 2-7 Martin Gould
Barry Hawkins (15) 7-2 Alexander Ursenbacher

All credit to Clarke, he did what you have to do.

Ursenbacher seemed to fold after stuffing a good chance to win the 2nd frame.

Impressed with Gould. Read him saying that lockdown "saved" him as he was in a really low spell. I'm sure snookered will be willing him on to finish the job

Ursenbacher was introduced as " the Federer of the Baize "

" The Swiss roll over " would have been more appropriate.

Thank you kindly Mr Gould. You have allowed me the pleasure of enjoying the rest of the tournament. I am most grateful to you good sir .

Second Round overnight scores:
John Higgins (5) 3-5 Kurt Maflin
Mark Williams (3) 5-3 Stuart Bingham (14)

I was a bit thrown yesterday by the quiet morning. I suppose they started on Friday because they can't finish on Bank Holiday Monday.

MAXIMUM BREAK ALERT.

John Higgins in his match against Kurt Maflin.

Maguire had a good try last night, but stuffed position for the 13th red.

Higgins did well to draw it to 8-8 at the end of the session, Maflin looked in control.
