Oh, and Joe Perry whitewashed Stuart Bingham ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

One for Kal-El, it's a Perry-White final tomorrow

After a back n forth match, Perry prevailed 7-5.

If you remember Thai snooker legend James Wattana as a nice gentleman, look away.

The Thai Phoon is standing as a candidate to be an MP in Thailand's February elections. He will be representing the Chart Thai Pattana Party, Thailand's hard right, ultra Conservative party.
