Outstanding superb break.

Awesome 147 from Hendry, especially that 3 ball plant then the pink at the end to get on the black.  Always liked Hendry, even when he was winning everything...anybody with a Jack Bauer ringtone is cool 

My favourite player, John Higgins is locked in another fantastic battle with Mark Selby.  To come back from 3-0 down after seeing your opponent knock in 3 centuries in a row to level at 4-4 just shows amazing grit and determination.  Would love to see him or Allen win.

Great break from Hendry,what a shame he is now being out played!!!Selby and Higgins could be an absolute classic,could go all the way,shame its only a quarter final.

Well there goes my F***ing Hendry prediction, doesn't it?! :

Still, he's looking good, and I expect him to be challenging for yet more titles.

Allen 12-11 up against Day. Be a scrappy game.

I'm sad that Stephen Hendry has gone out, he played well and I really like him. Shame 

Still got it though after all these years, I'm sure he'll come back strong as ever.

Allen is through to the semis.

I like stephen maguire and john higgins. Hope one of them win

HIggins through- would love to see him win. Great match...hard lines to Selby - a future champion for sure!

HIggins through- would love to see him win.

The way he's edged through, you wouldn't bet against it would you!

Higgo's name is on this tournament. After his comebacks against Cope and now Selby, it's just written for him.

Although Allen is a good player, I don't think Higgins will be too disappointed to have him in the semis. Murphy/Robertson will be a good match I reckon.

Must be the first time for a long time to see four players from four different countries in the semi's of the World's. England, Scotland, N.Ireland and Australia all represented in the last four this year.

The standard of the matches so far have been outstanding, just hope the last four can be as good if not better. Plus it's one table now which I think the players all enjoy.

Me, Murphy and Higgins in the final on sunday...and lots of beer

^^^^^
You going the final mate? Or are you Michaela Tabb and refereeing the match?

He'd be under the table playing with Michaela's Tabbs if he had his way mate. 

Oh yes, fo shizzle!

I'm not going to the final no. But if they don't get Tabb, then let's hope they don't get the miserable bugger they had last night!!

Allen's potting has been great, Higgins' safety has been great in this opening frame, good start to the match.

Good first session between Higgins and Allen. Higgins leads 6-2
I'm backing him for the tournament this year as i do most years

Gutted Selby was knocked out.

But i can see Higgins winning it now, anyone that beats Selby has to win.

Robertson and Murphy locked up at 2-2 at the mid-session interval.

Robertson and Murphy locked up at 2-2 at the mid-session interval.

4-4 at the end. Murphy was plain childish when he won't let Robertson get his extension,which he had left in his dressing room.

Cracking  game though.

Cracking frame between Murphy and Robertson there. Robertson should've won, made mistakes and Murphy got back into it to clear up and force a respotted black.
Robertson had to play the 1st shot, messed it up and Murphy attempted the long pot successfully.
6-4 to Murphy

15-9 to Higgins

What a battle Allen put up.He's one for the future.Higgins through 17-13.

Murphy 14-10 Robertson  finishes @ 7pm.
