I gave Georgiou too much credit for Qualifying last year. He is total rubbish.

Still think Jimmy will be lucky to get close to Milkins.

Great to see cunt Carter got minced yesterday. Hope McManus can take full advantage. Also hope Sangkham can get rid of the turncoat Sharav.

Selt, Sharav and Milkins fucked off? Mcmanus Hamilton and Saengkham through? Good shit. Although Ursenbacher winning is pretty stupid considering i recall him winning like two matches during his first TC two years. Prob a whitewash for a lucky seed.

I'm happy that Ursenbacher got through. He is a good prospect but does come across as a bit arrogant. Good to see Ashley Carty qualify too, he played really well in the Championship League.

Hoping Thepchaiya and Sunny Akani can get through today. Hard to muster much enthusiasm for the others, although happy to see either McGill or Baird get through.

Not happy to see McGill reappear, but hopefully the other results will be better.

Shaun Murphy — Noppon Saengkham

David Gilbert — Kurt Maflin

Kyren Wilson — Anthony Hamilton

Mark Williams — Alan McManus

Stuart Bingham — Ashley Carty

Neil Robertson — Liang Wenbo

Ronnie O'Sullivan — Thepchaiya Un-Nooh

Mark Selby — Jordan Brown

John Higgins — Matthew Stevens

Ronnie v Thepchaiya will certainly be a good laugh.

No lie Hamilton is an utter twat here. His reason for withdrawing he is worried about his asthma. Did he get that diagnosed yesterday or something? Fuckhead was never going to play at the crucible, just wanted to try his luck at pocketing 20K and deprive someone of the chance to play at the world championships.

The 20k is the deciding factor.
Must be some kind of list they could use to parachute somebody in
