A bit petulant then from Trump 3-2 behind missed a red to middle and just smashed his cue into a bunch of reds to concede frame and match, fine heading his way after that
Slacking i know got a lot going in atm The 4 semi finalists Yan Bintao Lyu Haotian(1st ever semi for this young man) Elliot Slessor(1st ever semi for this young man) Mark Williams
Mark Williams 6-2 Elliot Slessor Yan Bingtao 6-2 Lyu Haotian
Final is Mark Williams v Yan Bingtao
Should Yan win he will be the youngest ever player the win a ranking event passing Ronnies record by 3 months
Should point out the Mark Williams has stated on twitter he recieved a phone call this evening his wife was rushed back into hospital, not sure if he will pull out of final or not
Ronnies record is safe for now. I say for now because i wouldnt put it past Yan Bingtao to win a ranking event in the next 3 months, possibly even the uk's(Ronnies first)
