Any of yiz watching the World Seniors on at the minute? You get it on the red button or iplayer.

White bate Hendry yesterday in the semi, clearing a 130 in the process. Looks like he'll be playing Doherty in the final tonight. Best of 9.

I'm still optimistic that he'll win the big one at the Crucible yet

I think 2021 could be the year

An Irish player to look out for?

Trump misses the pink!

Robbo cleans up to win 10-9

Crazy miss on the pink. Wasn't even close either.

Another right good final here at the Benson and Hedges Masters at Wembley Conference Centre

Yan Bingtao leads John Higgins 9-8

Higgins has been very poor since he beat o'sullivan. Same today. Had loads of opportunities. Fair play to Yan though

Yan the Man

Had to wait a good 12 or 13 minutes to polish it off but he wins 10-8

Nice to have been on him at 40/1 at start of week!

Great performance from Yan all week. Gutsy throughout. Higgins be disappointed after letting two opportunities to go 3 up slip and he was punished accordingly. Big breakthrough win for Yan and would expect him to start featuring in the business end more regularly now.

Higgins had the opportunities, to go 6-3 up and 8-5. Yan stole a couple of those frames after the interval. Higgins was 67 up and it went to a re spotted black.
Fair play to yan. He looks a lot older then 20.

He'll be a contender for the Worlds. Trump was unfortunate to miss out through covid

Could Yan be the first Chinese to win the World?
I backed Ding nearly a decade ago for this, he has the talent, but not the ultimate cojones I think.

Good to see Jordan Brown from Co.Antrim through to the Welsh open final after a 6-1 victory over Stephen Maguire. He also beat Mark Selby in the quarters and is now in his first ranking final. (He only made it his first quarters a few weeks back.)

Has a tough task in the final against either Ronnie or Mark Williams.
