    Enjoyed the evening session today. It's a great setup, fits into the Bailey Allen hall perfectly, all very professionally run.

    Roughly 600 capacity. Seating either side of the table and larger stand in front. You can come and go between frames.

    No photos allowed during play, disappointing but understandable as it's dead silent during play.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan has pulled out of the Betfair Players Tour Championship Grand Finals in Ireland for medical reasons.

    O'Sullivan, who is suffering from glandular fever, was due to face Ricky Walden in the last 16 of the tournament, tonight at the Bailey Allen Hall in Galway. However World Snooker was advised of his withdrawal this morning.

    Walden receives a bye to the quarter-finals.

    The tournament, which is the culmination of the Players Tour Championship series, runs until Sunday.

    Thanks :)
