    Well the session went in 5-4, and as you said, experience won it out. Brecel was in control of the 9th frame and a rookie mistake sent King on his way. I still think it'll come down to a final frame decider, I hope it does!

    That 14th frame was a big big frame, 7-7 or 8-6 ahead, 2 more required for Ken. It's tense out there.

    Will be sickened for Ken if he loses this. Hamilton cueing very well in the last couple of frames. Could be the last we'll see of Ken if he loses. Hopefully he'll have one more chance in this frame.

    Bad positional shot there. Doherty could be back on the table in a few.


    EDIT: Yup!

    Big shot here to keep Ken on the table. It's a go or bust shot I think.

    EDIT: Safety was played instead. Phew. So intense!

    45-8 to Hamilton atm.

    Probably would have been game over had he nestled in behind the brown. Very much game on now though. COME ON KEN!

    Ford lost 10-9, and had a frame deducted for coming back late after the interval I believe ?

    Took a lot of balls to win that from behind. Fair play Ken! You still have it :D The red at the bottom cushion was a beaut.

    My nerves are wrecked just sitting here watching live scoring!! Well done Ken, back in the Crucible again, it will be something to look forward to. He must have held his nerve well in that last frame, he was always a great player under pressure!

    Last frame Hamilton was in control. Took a gutsy red to bottom right and the white ended up on top cushion. He was meant to roll the white up behind the brown for the snooker but underhit it, he ended up snookering himself as a result. Ken cleared up. Underhit a few shots but took some excellent shots to recover from them.

    Hell of a break to win it given the circumstances. Ok the reds were spread pretty nicely but he had two or three tough pots that could easily have gone wrong with so much at stake. The shot on the blue when he went in and out of baulk was lovely. Well done Ken. Balls of steel.

    I've travelled with Ken for eight years until 2000, and since then only a handful of trips but tonight was one of the most satisfying wins I've ever seen from him. No matter what happens in Sheffield, qualifying means so much to him.

    And what top seed would like to draw Ken and play him over 19 frames!!!

    It would be great if David and fergal could get wins now. 3 irish players in first round would be nice

    I was reading the updates this morning and found them tense enough, it must have been unbearable in Sheffield Zack! Can't wait for the World Championships to start now, although I'm watching BBC London in the Netherlands so I won't have access to the red button coverage on the tv. Shame that the evening coverage will be so short again, suppose they've got to make prime-time room for the millions of antiques fanatics though :P

    Important last frame from Davy. Big ask now but it wins the first he might have a chance.

    Think I'm right in saying that the King Brecel match will come down to the last frame. Entertaining afternoon.

    Brecel wins 10-8 and will be the youngest ever player to appear at the Cruicble.

    Ack. Annoyed I missed Ken's qualifier. But at least I'll have another chance to see him play - in what will no doubt be another really tense encounter. What is it about Ken's matches that always have me biting my nails at some point?!
