Ack, Ken just missed a chance for a 147 in the second frame. He didn't get going properly in the first frame so it was always going to be a tough opportunity. Still would have been so sweet to see Ken make a 147 in the Crucible. He's never made one in Tournement play has he?

No I don't think so - he famously missed the final black off its spot on a previous attempt.

Feeling quite tense watching this match against Robertson, I don't think Ken could have had a much tougher draw for the first round. What's the feeling like between the two - do they get on well with each other or is there any bad feeling between them?

Ken 3-1 down the interval. I think 2-2 would be justified though

Yeah I remember that, it was at the 2000 Masters and he had a chance to win a sports car. I think they get on very well. I saw them sharing a joke in between frames earlier on.

Say what you like about the bbc commentators, but John Virgo certainly knows how to create suspense. Edge of the seat stuff.

Meanwhile back to Kens match, bad safety by Ken hanging the last red, Robbo dishes up and although it's 4-2 that could be a big moment in the match.

Yeah I'd say that hurt - I certainly felt it here on the couch! What do you make of Hendry's form? Seems to be really enjoying himself out there.

Quite the sickener that. He could badly do with getting it to 4-3 as opposed to 5-2. I feel Robertson is getting his act together now...

He'll certainly have plenty to talk about tonight. 8-1 up overnight, faultless performance which included the magical maximum.
Incredible.

6-2 now and the last frame has become huge. That hung red in the sixth frame as I suspected has become huge.

7-2 sigh. The annoying thing is you can't say Ken didn't have his chances.

Well I am raging. I've missed all of today's snooker due to unforseen circumstances. 7 - 2 down for Ken, ouch Reading here it seems it could/should have been 6 - 3 or even 5 - 4..?

And on the other table I miss a 147 from Hendry. Well done Stephen by the way...:)

Whats it like in the Players' Lounge Zack? Hope Ken isn't too down...

Matches on eurosport 1+2 now I think. Liang Wenbo had a decent chance for the second 147 of the day, but missed a near straight red into the left black pocket. Not sure if it was nerves, or applause from the other table that put him off. He's playing very well though, despite the scoreline being level Higgins looks under an awful lot of pressure.

Stuck a fiver on Liang to win 10-8 yesterday at 30/1. Looks like it may yet happen Higgins not looking so good, Liangs long shots are all over the place though. Luckily the one he put all his chips on paid off and he's 7-6 in front at the interval
