World Snooker Final Higgins V Trump

[sam86]

Trump 10-7 up overnight, come on the Juddster.
Was a bit sceptical about my acquaintance's bet, but it seems that back in 1997, his 14yo son was playing in a local club and got ripped to bits by an eight-year-old who needed to stand on a box to play his shots. He got the kid's name and rang up a bookie the next day to get a price for him to win a WC at some point in the future. Fourteen years later, he's eight frames away from ten grand for a tenner.

They mentioned someone doing similar on BBC last night. Perhaps it was your acquaintance they were talking about. I only caught the end of it.

Rishi knows him too so yes, that would be him.

12-12 now Higgins coming back

 

[Frutos]

So, if Trump wins this one he gets to play Obama for the right to be President?

 

[Durlston]

Superb stuff from Higgins in those last four frames to lead 13-12. He just looks so determined today. I don't think Judd's out of this but taking that incredibly tough blue down the cushion, needing the pink as well was so risky at 12-9 up; a big turning point.

 

[Frutos]

Higgins leads 15-14, still could go either way.

 

[Beach Hut]

Very good final

 

[Beach Hut]

17-15 Higgins

 

[Beach Hut]

Higgins wins but Trump should win this quite a few times as he is quality.

 

[Husty]

Always liked Higgins, well done him, but Trump surely has a bright future.

 

[Beach Hut]

I have a lot of time for Higgins, yes he made a very stupid mistake however he has fought back well and proved what a great player he is.

 

[8ace]

I always like to see the match players win rather than the flashy potters, well done the wizard

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Hazel was so determined to make Higgins blub...he was teetering then kaboom, bring up the recent loss of his father and inevitable waterworks...she's a tough cookie!

Another Bristol loser, but I think he might come good!

 

[sam86]

Get in there! Played John. What a way to do it.

Hazel tried her bloody hardest to make him blub didn't she?! Flippin' heck.

Judd obviously has a very, very bright future.

 

[Durlston]

Cracking final and delighted John Higgins won. It wasn't easy on the old ticker though; what a double on the pink in that last frame after needing a snooker.
