Trump only needs 6 more frames and Higgins needs 13 more. Seen Higgins come back from similar, but in all honestly, I think it's all over bar the fat lady singing.

Yes as Hazel said he was losing 14-7 or something to Mark Williams last year and came back to make it 15-15.

Hope Higgins comes back as am sick of the stick he gets from the average lager drinking snooker 'fan'. He never cheated and is an all time great. Coming back to win this title for the 5th time would cement his place. Can't stand Trump, would like to see his face if he bottles it from here!

This is one hell of a first frame in the afternoon session!
/edit - genuinely disappointed he didn't make that black

Noooooooooooooooooooo

I'm not.

Gah, I can feel John Higgins is going to win this session 6-2. So we'll be at 14-11 at the start of tonight's play.
Commissario
I don't like him, I don't want him to win but I appreciate it when someone plays well and that final red was an absolute corker.
Soldato
He'll have made a few quid on the miss probably.

Yay! Maggie Thatcher is still there! First time I've seen her this year.
Soldato
Didn't know (or have forgotten) that Trump is snookerily ambidextrous.
Caporegime
Standard is incredible. I didn't think I'd ever see a player, or two players, match what Hendry did in the UK Championship but they're damn close.3 frames played. 1 century each. Tasty.
Commissario
I've struggled to see fat bloke this year. I thought he was there yesterday but not in his usual central seat.
Caporegime
I don't know who you mean.
There are three I look out for
*the bank manager who is overweight and wears glasses (he may be the one you are referring to - he sits front row, centre of table 2) who's been there nearly every session
*Maggie Thatcher who sports a similar hairstyle, wears pearls, only seen her today
*the guy that used to wear a football shirt and got told off for doing so who sits next to the players on table 2, he's been there a lot as well
I wonder how much it costs to attend every single session, like many of them do.
Caporegime
Some of the people on the front have Crucible season tickets or something from what I can gather. When the Crucible was either being first built or extended they offered a limited number of lifetime tickets to people that helped fund the construction works. I don't know whether that's entirely 100% true.

This is almost done, there might not be an evening session if Trump wins 4 more frames before 6pm.
Commissario
That's him - I thought he was sitting about four of five seats to his left (ie towards the player) yesterday evening and have struggled to spot him this year. Has he lost weight?
Can't believe we're talking about the spectators when such a great match is going on!
Another century break, this is incredible today.
Caporegime
I think he might have lost a stone or two but he's still overweight.
I don't know how much longer my nerves can hold out, I've never wanted Judd to win something so badly.
