Not liking the fact that Barry Hearn has made the likes of UK Championship a 128 entry tournament with reduced frames matches and having 8 tables on at one time in early rounds. It devalues this tournament in my opinion.

Ronnie O'Sullivan playing the tournament with a broken ankle.
That being said he leads 3-1 at the mid session interval against Peter Lines.

Ronnie would appear to agree with you.

I'd have thought a broken ankle had more impact than that. I saw him in some of the Peter Lines match, you'd struggle to know who had a broken ankle. Yes, I suppose he is on painkillers, but still...

John Higgins with a fine 6-2 victory over Matthew Stevens earlier today. The conqueror of Mark Selby also made further progress, namely David Morris who beat David Gilbert 6-2.
Tonight Shaun Murphy looks to be striking the cue ball really well and leads Jack Lisowski 4-1.

Murphy won that match against Lisowski 6-4 last night.
Today Ronnie O'Sullivan pulled away from 2-2 to beat Ben Wollaston 6-2. Neil Robertson had a victory by the same score and Stephen Maguire also prevailed 6-2 against Welshman Mark Williams.
Ding Junhui in a spot of bother against James Cahill tonight though. He knocked in a century to win frame one but is now 4-1 down.

Make that 5-1. Cahill on the brink of causing a big upset.

5-5 now.

Cahill has had chances in last 2 frames

Yeah Ding recovered from needing 3 snookers to force a deciding frame.
But it was all in vain as a brave Cahill won the decider for a 6-5 triumph.

Cahill held his nerve well after an unexpected miss by Ding in final frame. Looking at the set up of the tables, I would hate to be on the far away table as it is far tighter in terms of space compared to the other 3 tables

John Higgins joins the list of big name casualties losing 6-5 to McGill

Neil Robertson went 5-0 down against Graeme Dott .

But now its 5-5 .

Unbelievable fightback.

Edit: But after all that hard work to get level the defending champion loses the tense last frame to give a relieved Dott a 6-5 victory.
