Great stuff. Dylan was unlucky to finish just 250 quid outside the top64

KevIRL

Szaganski beats Ian White in what could be a big win for him as he looks to win a tour card

ThebitterLemon

Great 25, 60, bull check out by Willie.

Hopefully he can beat Wade but Wade very solid

TbL

KevIRL

Wade blew him away eventually. Once Willie went a bit wayward the head went.

In games critical for the tour card race, Scutt loses to Gabriel Clemmens but Vandenbodegarde beat De Decker.

Dillonb3

Smith knocked out by Richard Veenstra. Didn't look bothered during the game

KevIRL

Lennon beats Gilding. Potentially a massive win for him

Dillonb3

Big win for Lennon

TheChrisD

Mario wins in Round 2, so Steve and Radek need to continue winning to match. Good news though is Doets is out.

Current projected Tour Card race:

• #60 Ian White £80,750 (in Worlds)
• #61 Martijn Kleermaker £80,000
• #62 Boris Krcmar £76,750
• #63 Kevin Doets £76,000 (in Worlds)
• #64 Mario Vandenbogaede £75,000 (in Round 3 vs MvG; in Worlds)
• #65 Steve Lennon £70,500 (in Round 2 vs Wade; in Worlds)
• #66 Nathan Rafferty £69,250
• #67 Radek Sazaganski £66,500 (in Round 2 vs Humphries; in Worlds)
• #68 Connor Scutt £62,750 (in Worlds)
• #72 Richard Veenstra £50,000 (in Round 2 vs Wattimena; in Worlds)

KevIRL

Humphries destroyed sazaganski. hard to see lennon beating wade with wades current form so it likely comes down to winning his first round game at ally pally to catch krcmcr assuming boris doesn't qualify that is

TheChrisD

NINE

TheChrisD

Humphries has now won three majors in the same year!

KevIRL

What a final that was

US3

Itvs production is gone to the dogs, some shocking camera work all weekend, one player had tops left and they zoomed in to d16. On a traditional 9 darter they missed the d12. When they interviewed Luke littler they asked him how losing last years final to josh rock felt, he didn't play last year, rock beat Nathan Girvan. There' was a couple more incorrect stats mentioned as well.

Great tournament really that's the first final in a long time that had quality and drama. I can't believe MVG bottled it, never seen him soil himself like that before. He looked so good all weekend. Humphries is class. Can't see anyone beating him at ally pally

ThebitterLemon

I usually prefer the ITV commentary team but agree the camera work was absolutely shocking. Whoever was doing the spotting must have been pissed!
