Home Nations £1m tournament

So pleased for Thepchaiya Un-Nooh finally getting his 147.
He has missed out a few times before ALL by missing the final black.
Nice that he can put those painful memories to rest at the English Open.
Well done to the lad.

^ He must be really disappointed that Ronnie has taken half of the prize with his 15th career 147!

The urine smell obviously not affecting Ronnie's game then

The Rocket was just taking the piss.

he actually made the 147 rather than settling for 146

Big names like Trump, Robertson and Higgins went out last night, leaving a q-final line-up like this:

Stuart Bingham v Ali Carter
Ryan Day v Mark Davis
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Luo Honghao
Noppy Saengkham v Misery Maguire

O'Sullivan beat Luo 5-3 in a very high quality quarter final but unfortunately the referee missed a foul committed by Ronnie in seventh frame which allowed him to clear up and take a 4-3 lead.

Yeah, Luo had him on the ropes a little before he came back.

Bingham v Maguire
O'Sullivan v Davis

Davis stunned Ronnie 6-1 to reach his first ever ranking tourney final.

4-4 against Bingham at halfway today.

Bingham alas prevailed 9-7. Hopefully Davis won't need 27 years to reach another final (I thought later that there was understandably much talk about King/Hamilton/Day breaking their ducks, but no mention of David "4 up with 5 to play" Gilbert).
