🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

yeah a little Grimace from Mark San the reason is that the the for red of that plant is has gone very near the black spot and it may tie up the black now just have a look at the first ready hits goes right down onto the black [Music] [Music] spot one specific element of sel’s game which is absolutely extraordinary I think the way you can bridge over a ball and knock them [Music] in but that black is doing so be no [Music] [Music] favors delicate operation for the referee he has to put the black nearest his own spot where not touching the [Music] [Music] [Music] red didn’t get topsid in glue so he might just have to drop the blue in and play a red for Mid this black is still putable into the left corner pocket not pable into angle can release the red above the black as well so big shot this if this goes in he gets a nice angle on the black well it could be a frame winner even they were still an early stage yeah and he’s got a lovely angle and when he pots the black just a little cannon on the red just above the black and he should be okay yeah just m it away and that’s absolutely perfect back in Prime position even for someone like Mark Selby he has that title under his belt as we’ve talked about also you look at his centuries compiled this season he’s made 30 already now to make 30 before Christmas that is good going so this talk about him than that he’s not onedimensional at all F from it Phil one of the well I think he’s one of the if not the best match player I’ve ever seen I mean that is a big statement you know he had the likes of John Higgins and Steve Davis maybe before you very well around the table and could play any sort of game but this man for me I just think he 6 really has brought it on just a little notch and when he’s in this form as you say and that was frame [Applause] B very very tough to beat there only every now and again he just goes into his shell a little bit he could play it for him like this and then maybe just go into a shell a little bit but when he’s playing like this as you said like he’s one of the best scorers in the world and that’s why he’s being so successful but when they go Scrappy he can play that game as well no problem the best at it and surely by the end of his career he will get to the 1,000 centuries in Pro composition mark I would say in three or four years time actually 8 here looking for what would be number 852 88 ma8 well that was clinical and quite impressive Mark Selby with a break of 88 making just the kind of start he would have designed e e e Kevin dski the referee announcing the start of frame two rather swiftly the first frame of the day here at the global theater in Boulevard City Riyad lasted for only 11 minutes you look at the head-to-head so many conflicting signposts Mark Allen leads 109 overall in those matches that have gone to a decid he 64 up they’ve played in three finals SEL won two of them played twice at The Crucible sel’s won both as for quarterfinals which of course this is Allen leads 62 so take your pick that extraordinary match and I use the word extraordinary lightly so we were here in this very Arena as Selby went quite routinely 3-1 ahead he was 54 points in front in the next frame Allan came back to salvage it next frame Selby was on a break of 42 Mr Black he shouldn’t have again Allan comes back after a very lengthy battle Shades it on the blue and then the decider was just full of drama an incident as Ken said Allan double the black eventually to win the frame after it looked as though he was a certainty to lose it he also had a good portion of luck in that frame I remember one outrageous green e flute and as a player Ken not n that one that wonderful golden bar will we ever see a player this week have a go with it be quite something really would I’ll be very very exciting blocked just talking about that potential 167 these two have the pedigree 8 147’s in Pro competition between them five for sby three for [Applause] Allen for he played that red with an element of safety tring to screw back into the bul but he’s unfortunate kissed another red and knocked it over this right hand corner pocket as we look we know sby already in stroke with that long red in the force so this shouldn’t be a problem didn’t po it right into the middle of the pocket and subsequently doesn’t have position on the color so Phil was asked a question earlier uh somebody twe it in if somebody actually when they’re breaking off and they fell they touched the Golden Ball with their sleeve I know it’s a foul but is it 20 points away because it’s the Golden Ball and it’s worth 20 points I don’t know but I’ve got you I’ve got you I don’t know but I would very much doubt it I can’t believe Phil you don’t know the answer to that question must be one of the very few Phil well don’t put ideas in players heads just get the get the golden ball in mid table to make it easier to pot later on I think we’ll have to ask a tournament referee Yamahas during the interval maybe but it’s a good question isn’t it I mean you would think oh good part for Mark Allen nicely dug out nice kiss on the brown yeah well deserved what beautifully picked out that one but yeah it’s an interesting question I mean if you fail the pink with your sleeve it’s a six points away if you fail the black with your sleeve it’s seven away if you fail the Golden Ball it should be 20 points away theoretically answers on a post card please fu it’s a good job you can’t be snooker on the Golden Ball miss it three times you’re 60 behind now we were talking about Mark Selby the fact he’s made 30 centuries Before Christmas Mark Allen’s made 31 he scored heavily as well all campaign the Highlight being a 147 in the British o which Selby went on to win there was a a funny story about that actually Allan played a match on table two he wasn’t happy with conditions even though he won the match he actually said the table should be burnt and the next day he played on that same table and made a maximum Wy law that’s what we call it yeah trying to get the pink on us but he’s actually over hit the Q Ball by a couple of inches he really wanted to be a bit nicer on the pink to get it on the spot because the black is not available into the left corner it’s not pable into the right corner so putting the pink on a spot would be a lot more beneficial but I wanted to be bit straighter on the pinks and just play for Red’s either side of The Pink Spot that’s why he’s taking the yellow now may see him try and get back up for blue or pink just put the QQ ball in an area and if he goes a little bit too far for the blue he’ll have the pink this looks a lot better perfect 21 22 29 yeah this is certainly not a an easy break and that’s all because that black is not available into out of corner pocket he’s having to work hard for this love to get one of these Reds left or right of the oh wow took his eye off the park concentrating on position there was going to say love to get one of these Reds left or right at the black but that’s what he was concentrating on took his eye off the pot it’s a cardinal sin for a snooker player what on his other Mission Allen’s been experimenting with his game he’s not been happy with it and he’s been trying out different methods different thoughts but sometimes you can confuse yourself a little I just put a little circle up there Phil I think if Mark I’d love to get the Q ball into an area somewhere around there just for this red into the right corner that would open up the black into B Pockets oh just a little bit short six he would have loved to have stayed on the black with the angle I couldn’t do that but he’s okay top side the blue play for the loose red near the left hand side cushion sure 12 yeah once again he wants to be finishing low on this black so he’s got a nice angle so anywhere in that Circle would be good just over hit it I think I don’t think the angle is is great to go into the the three Reds Above the black now there you see it it’s not a great angle so that’s a poor shot for Max Elby now these are the kind of shots at top level if they’re going in regularly you’re going to be very tough to beat they hold breakes together 20 well play get like that the only ready could leave was the one he went for and he hasn’t left it but he’ll still leave the table a way bit disappointed for well he’s had a right result there he’s okay he’s left the red into the this left corner but it could have been a lot easier bit of a test at is require good queing oh that’s lovely that’s beautiful beautiful beautiful long pot didn’t try and bail out and try and get that QQ B back to the bul area just held the Q ball for the black and well couldn’t have played any better right [Applause] that opening red it’s the kind of shot that injects confidence makes a player feel good yeah very similar to the the opening red from Marx Selby in the in the first frame yeah just looking at the score 24 ahead so red and black 32 he’s going to need one of these difficult Reds the top red of the two it does part into the left corner pocket but he’s got to get on it nice trickle the QQ ball true for that red can’t go too far doesn’t want to block himself with the pink and could have played it a little bit better than that I think he has to play this with a little bit of pace he’s going into the other red so he has to play it maybe with a little bit of pace if he wants to get back out for the black he could take the chance and play for the pink but it’s not absolute 100% guaranteed to be on the pink that’s what’s just sort of going through his mine at the moment frame ball this you would say if it goes in so justest the black needed to leave Markel be requiring a couple of Snookers no mistake and respecting SEL of abilities to enjoy Great Escapes in frames Allan will lock the door here stuning the wh and behind the BL [Applause] foul on the uh the Golden Ball apparently Steven hallworth has reliably informed me through Ivan hich who’s the Press officer for World Snooker that it’s just a fall P penalty try to block the red use some brown and yellow but he’s come up short Mark sby you could possibly have a go with this just to give you some idea of how close their previous meetings have been is keep these frames going when sel’s got a chance to lace nukers just kill them off as quickly as you possibly can because even if you win them and it’s a real battle that can sa mental energy yeah I think that’s important you know you don’t want to use up unwanted sort of energy and reserves you to keep them because if this match does go a little bit close you want to have them for maybe the final frame so yeah get the frame over and done with only be messing around for Snookers 10 or 20 minutes he missed the brown but he won’t be buttered this is the fifth match of the tournament so [Music] [Applause] far e e genius to work out that this match would be keenly and possibly closely contested that’s the impression we’re getting so far Mark sby winning the first frame rapidly with a break of 88 a scrappier second frame falling to Mark Allen I shouldn’t really tell himely can K you no I can’t tell you that’s that’s what I’m saying secret is it now is Mark Selby asking the same question that you asking about the Golden Ball Mark whether it would be a penalty if he touched it I don’t know it’s purely a guess but maybe that was the case cuz he pointed towards the Golden Ball as they were beginning their discussion yeah I’m not quite sure and the referee said well he can’t tell him but uh that’s a unusual answer from the referee I thought you could ask the referee almost anything I know you can for certain some of the players who are color blind they can ask the referee which is the brown and which is the red if the brown is sort of in the in the bunch of the reds are close to a red and they can’t decide for which is which and they’re allowed to ask the referee then also when there’s a high break up for grabs you can ask the referee what the high break is to that particular Point sometimes the referee doesn’t always know yeah and another bit of trivia is that you when you place the ball in the D you can ask the referee is it in the D is it over the line just to make sure as well and the referee should be able to tell you that as well I’m sure that is the real so it’ be interesting to see what Mark was asking a referee I don’t think it was a a major point but it was one of Interest not selbes that safety shot in and out of bulk well out and red left yeah on sasque as you say it’s couple of safety shots now of for us in the previous frame as well ooh good pot yeah just stopped in his tracks needed that Q barall just to bounce off the top cushion queued it in beautifully but just needed to bounce off the cushion just at an inch or two have a nice angle on the black now of course the black still Parts but you can’t disturb the red that’s on the black spot I don’t think digging down would be quite dangerous very very missable you’re doing nothing at all with the CU ball this is a a horrid shot to take on well that’s amazing isn’t it once you parted that red you talk okay I’m going to be on the black here I’ve got a chance at now well he was looking at leaving the Q ball in the bul area but well this is missable if he takes the black on it’s certainly missable particularly digging down on the Q ball a he’s played out very well and he’s not the the red off the black [Applause] spot eight you have to applaud a the execution and B the Enterprise now this is when Mark Allen’s at his best when he avoids being defensive in favor of what he’s best at which is entertaining electrifying scoring because he’s CU ball control when he’s in a nice Rhythm he’s excellent yeah that black was one of the best shots of the tournament so far for me yeah nice shot but also I think he’s only played that the black and knocked the red off the spot because of the prize for the 167 I think if he in a tournament another tournament that wasn’t such a press I don’t think you might have played the same shot but now all of a sudden he’s got a really good chance here he’s got s five another five Reds out in the open at least maybe six Reds without making any sort of cannon into the Reds and trying to develop anything so he’s got another maybe 40 48 points get really interesting such a good score he’s got great qball control be staying on the black for as long as he can no doubt about that and let’s not forget right at the start of this year he beat Mark Selby 65 in the quarterfinal of the Masters making in the third frame at 147 this is frame three here we just played to 3 nudge into that red just missed it well he Sly grazed after red but needed a full ball contact okay you can still po this red left to the blue in and out of bulk back up for the black lots of left hand side void the yellow he’s played it nicely it’s going to bounce off this top cushion it needs the bounce it needs the bounce 3 could have done with a little bit more pace only 10 pots can but the pulses are racing and this break and he approach to it underlines the enticement of that million dollars I think he’s got a chance F there’s no doubt about there’s another red at the bottom of that Bunch there you see it that’s available he can peel that off and he’s purposely finished nice and low so this a big shot he pots this red he’s going to go into the other Reds he could bring the other five Reds into play here big shot this lots of Top Spin and it’s perfect it’s perfect great shot now we’re on we are definitely Ely on [Applause] here normally against a player of Mark Selby’s caliber on 56 in a position like this Allan would take his medicine play for another color win the frame he’s just come up slightly short he wanted to be straighter on this red there that’s the angle he’s got now can he hold the qall the red right of the pink is it available into the yellow pocket if it is he could take it on now what is he looking at potting the red going in and out of bulk well he could hold it and he’s made a good fist of it they’re getting excited sh Marc is as well oh would you believe it hold on hold on the black’s not finished it’s still gone get in get in get in W can you believe it is that this could be the fluke of the century [Applause] Phil wow 65 is it written is it in the Stars he’s got a lovely angle on the black he could go into The Two Reds around the pink but what a fluke that was oh no no no after all that and the point is also he’s not done enough to win the frame doubly gutted Mark Allen I can tell you knowing Mark that wasn’t a result of guilt it was more a lack of concentration and now what an opportunity for Mark Selby to steal this from nowhere funly enough in the commercial break we were talking about the highest ever break to lose a frame it was 80 so 65 nowhere near enough to get it done also in the Saudi Arabia snook Masters the world ranking event here in early September the tie player Ted CH Anu made a 7 eight break and lost that frame yeah had to believe isn’t it but I mean the chance but I mean the chance he had there Phil look at the Reds I mean he’d be well that would be going through his mind he won’t be worried okay if he does lose the frame at least he went for the he had a chance at it but he’d be kicking himself and missing that easy straightforward black did all the hard work got the fluke this could be very important now if the Pink goes on the spot that means that red well if the pink I was on the spot me that means that red may not be pable now we tried it twice already looks like there’s plenty of room the red may be only pable into the middle left middle pocket but I don’t think it’s pable into this bottom right corner no it’s definitely not so it’s not completely straightforward for Max Alby eight and now has he got an angle on the pink here one pot in the pink he might be able to yeah he has he’s okay he’s played that nicely that little positional shot he just brush into this red bring it into play Move it away from the pink just like that and now he’s back in Prime position position well that’s another great chance I mean we saw a couple of chances already f with Jang ande but that was a wonderful chance wasn’t it and I thought maybe after that outrageous fluke that maybe it might have been sort of written in the stars that he was going to make it I think we have to put into perspective the pressure the guys are feeling when they’ve got a chance of a 1471 167 it would be the largest prize in snooker history it would outstrip the first prize at any world championship 2 well meanwhile Max Elby still in very good position here 2 now we’d like to when po this pink doesn’t anywhere but straight anywhere but straight on this next red you got a leave a nice angle that when he pots the red that he’s gone up past the blue and a nice angle to get back on the red below the pink that looks just about perfect let see well it was perfect but he didn’t hit right through the Q ball there he needed to be topid of the blue and he’s left himself well you can see it dead strike so he can’t get close to the next red what a crucial pot this is5 this is a a real crunch ball take if he gets this red should be frame ball good pot needs to slow up 36 that’s absolutely perfect yeah that was a good shot and now they just the six colors will remain after this blue and what a steal and in a best of seven frames like this are absolutely huge f 43 and where the balls were when he came to the table there was a sense of inevitability about this 46 let see it should be second nature but with a vely important frame on the line sometimes these situations get out of hand can’t imagine this one will though not now yeah for all’s great attribut dudes I think one of the best ones is his temperament time and time again he’s come up with clearances like this in his career and this is going to be another one a great steal from Selby here black for 2-1 everything that glitches isn’t e e e e e e e e and that’s exactly what he’s trying to clear up with the referee so theoretically Phil when you’re breaking off here you could purposely bring the golden ball into play give a foul it’s no you’re only given four points away and the Golden Ball is off the ball cushion theoretically another little anomaly quite a few times we’ve seen Mark Allen not happy with something on his Q he’s certainly not happy with something on the scoreboard two frames for Selby when it should have been two for him for for [Applause] it really is remarkable actually all the way through last season’s tournaments and so far in this the Golden Ball resolutely remaining where it is not right now very rarely any kind of contact or movement and I think it’s a real Balancing Act Ken you don’t become too fixated with the 167 there’s a match to be won that’s the the chief priority yeah absolutely you know was a tournament a match to be won tournament to be won I mean one of the greatest break Builders if not of course the greatest break Builder that’s ever lived Rono San he went on to win the tournament last year and never really had a sort of a proper go at the 167 don’t think he came really really close no we’ve had more realistic opportunities already this time around than at the inaugural tournament and maybe this could develop into another no problem potting the red but very very difficult to stay in the black here I mean you’re trusting a little bit of luck here he play it with a lot of pace he’s going into Reds he could go into the black here as well not really 100% sure where the Q ball is going is it yeah very very [Music] difficult could have possibly played that with a bit more pace and just taken a bit more of a chance but let’s send a break yellow n it was a minis School contact but it was a contact no foul announced by Kevin dski I’m sure we’ll see it here not a great contct on that red he’s left it Mark certainly far for mey middle of the table blue being off a spot makes it he can’t hold for the blue but he can try and screw back for a ball CER but yeah no problem once again didn’t go into the middle of the pocket that red I think it if I had have done it he might have been on the yellow a little bit better just watch where the red finishes as it goes into the pocket sort of went into the left hand side he’s taking this yellow on hi in the que while we go very aggressive a this is lovely look at this for a shot have a look at this for a shot needs to run great effort you saw there just how narrow the pocket entrance was for the red so s be quite correct quite sensible to keep it tight that point taking a risk in when there’s no reward close with the pot but always had that element of safety have a look at this red again look where the cuq ball where he was hiding the CU ball and sort of the clever side of Max Selby’s game could safety return from his opponent Mark Allen who certainly knows his way around the table as well really turned into a really tough match player but very knowledgeable when it comes to safety and angles and hiding that Q ball in the bul area this is going close he’s okay Mark s’s won 23 world ranking titles a fine Hall indeed including the season’s British out and when he overcame Mark Allen in the semi-final 6-3 went on to be John Higgins for the title Allen also in double figures in terms of ranking titles with 11 now without setting myself up for a fall this is where Selby excels now that for him was quite a straightforward shot but when he comes to escaping Snookers and leaving nothing on I think he’s the greatest ever yeah I think so s Johan Higgin are certainly very close just probably shade SEL be a little bit more he’s just such a really clever player and also Lon snook is getting out of I should say of course he was b a pill Champion as well wasn’t he let’s not forget that have to be very tactically ASU to be able to compete at the highest level in that sport as well yeah English eightball rules on a very small table which is as you say a highly tactical game I’d love to see him try his hand it nine ball on the world nine ball tour that would be a terrific watch I think he’d do well syby I think he’d adapt really quickly for doesn’t want to hide the Q ball behind the green and leave a free ball and well he’s left a free ball wow free ball so can’t you believe it so careless on Mark Selby could have played a straightforward I mean we’ve been building them up about such a good safety player but well that was a shocker gifted Mark Allen a chance from nowhere yes often you can leave a free ball at that end end of the table and it’s no use whatsoever this one could be very valuable six so and I think the last shot from Selby just emphasizes how precarious top level snop everything can be going decently reasonably and then one shot switches everything all around see he was playing a very thin safety so the Miss of the red was I suppose a occupational hazard but to leave a free ball that was the that was the damaging aspect 22 yeah just very careless shot wasn’t it could have played a containing safe shot waited for a better chance like he was really in a lot of trouble he wasn’t certainly lots of Alternatives so now would he take the up nice angle on the black into the pack of Reds a little bit harder he’s okay I mean could have played it with a bit more Pace a little bit tentative on that now as he hampered slightly with that redar can he get enough of the QQ ball I think just about you can get enough could flick too much side on it got to be careful he’s played it well played it well I think being left-handed actually helped there what you believe got into the CU way too much there um well he’s run out position and the break so let off for Selby yeah the other problem with that shoty caught the black very poorly even though he potted it had that gone into the center of the pocket he might have been okay col 38 now I think he’s just about on this red so another safety error from Marx Elby is saying we not used to seeing these errors from him Only the Strong par of his game well you would expect this time 49 point lead good long po success from Mark Allen five from five and as you alluded to Ken Selby safety success only 71% oh another instance where Allan’s are able to nail down the frame it’s a lengthy Journey back into the frame for Mark Selby of course it is but if he can win this one from here it would take some doing for Mark Allen to get off the floor well when you’re 56 ahead and you tie the black up it’s no bad thing for soby incentivized to free up the black but at what cost well this is four chance I think in this Frame alen so should be home and host here a couple of Reds just to make sure that maxby doesn’t come back to the table 64 ahead will put him 69 with 67 remaining but as I said he wants a few with a couple of these Reds just to stop s be coming back so decent response after losing that last frame see see sometimes head-to heads between a couple of players mean nothing at all when you see so many tight matches between these two you know it is going to be a blueprint for the match to come and that’s certainly the case [Applause] here e e e e and who’s to say which player will come through no real idea yet sel’s had the two highest breaks of the match but he’s got nothing to show for them [Applause] now that that was pure class what a shot from Mark Allen not just the pot which was top notch in itself but look at the position on the highest value ball on the table this is I know a ridiculously early call but if Mark Allen goes on to make a Max here that opening red will be replayed and replayed again brilliant it was ah didn’t get the necessary punch on the cuq to leave the red straighter 16 normally you wouldn’t bat an eyelid you just say we up for the blue and on he goes and I think sometimes you have to prioritize the frame 22 20 to I hit the Reds absolutely perfect but look knocked the pink safe he said the pink full ball that’s exactly what he wanted but he’s knocked the pink safe he’s knocked the black onto the cushion but on the plus side he’s knocked plenty of loose Reds out don’t think he’ll go into the red here I think he might just try and screw off a couple of cushions here or maybe try and hold the Q Ball even he’s trying to play off a couple of cushions need to avoid those Reds and pink but he was always going to be on this red into the right center or left Center I should say and he’s even on this red just above the black spot 3 doesn’t have to really worry about the black and pink plenty of loose Reds and it can accumulate enough points here just would have been a lot easier at the p black particularly being on the spot but he’s okay 41 46 trying to get in and win a frame in one Fell Swoop for the first time today also trying to hit the front for the first time after folding one nil and 21 down as he’s taken off by a ringing mobile phone 52 not a clean pot almost undercut that red and that’s why he’s short on the blue got a little glancing blow off the gra the gra but it didn’t really disrupt his position 58 points lead another couple of Reds and colors should do it oh again not in the middle of the pocket 15 and considering the frame that he lost where he he made 65 missed that easy black and he went two one that he’s really responded excellently here Mark Allen sh a lot of character as you would expect I think this is the fourth time we’ve seen Mark Allen do this with the C must be some kind of fibers on there Ken I think it’s uh just some fibers coming off the carpet maybe just sticking to the queue the but end of the queue but not a major concern 65 well frame ball is in Mark Allen 65 to the good with 59 on he’d like this green and one more red to make it absolutely sure 68 69 even though he’s a fighter Mark Elby can’t imagine come back to the table now leading five Snookers no way after [Applause] that 76 [Applause] 76 e e e e for we started the match K with all of the talk quite understandably about a 167 now now it’s very much get the win yeah absolutely I mean we we talked about the match they had in this corresponding tournament well it was actually earlier in the year wasn’t it it was around March time the first the inaugural Riad Masters 167 tournament where is fought out a a really tough 43 match but there’s another once again Mark Selby right down 68% well there that tells a story he’s been really poor in that department he’s been lucky on this occasion but a few times already where he’s normally so sound I mean we spoke about you know that tactical awareness that he has and astuteness but today it’s been in that department 68% is so low for him normally you want it sort of high 70s mid 80s if you can doesn’t want this going close to this corner pocket he’s okay he played it nicely thought it might have [Applause] been now as he got the cover looks like he’s got cover on the blue and this puts Mark Selby in a precarious position here because he tries to play a safety shot get the qball back to ball very hard to hide that red can he play off the cushion that’s what he’s looking at play off the cushion just try and clip the red and try and pot it but that would be extremely dangerous if it didn’t go well course costant frame and match I’ve just put a line in there this is exactly what he’s I think trying to play cushion Forest just clip the red on the left hand side as we look see red is not exactly in the middle of the pocket so here we go this has to be so precise wasn’t and well it’s a straightforward plant is it into the yeah he just had to hit it on the left hand side side that’s how he almost that’s why he did miss it tough shot that he’s left the plant and the black is available as well so what a chance doesn’t want to pot The Two Reds here no he [Applause] didn’t and there I was saying it’s all about the win and suddenly Allan’s got a real chance in about the BL balls already pre-developed the mindset here first of all he has to get the match won then he can literally go for gold Allan looking for his fourth semi-final of the season after the British Open UK championship and Scottish open 1 and if he won this match he would be on a guarantee of at least £75,000 which would be his biggest pay day on the campaign so far well must say Okay frame a match would be on his mind but the back of his mind the way the res are situated is no development needed just try and keep a good QQ ball I mean stay on the black for as long as he likes it the one sort of may become the difficult red is the one that’s next to the green getting back up with the black but still 3 not a problem for someone of mar Allen’s class he’s going to need extended rests and extension here The Two Reds that are close to the right hand side cushion I mean for a left hander slightly awkward but even then if he gets behind him it shouldn’t be a problem so not a good chance here one that 167 will be on his [Music] see well he’s on the hit there and that’s a oh I’d be so disappointed okay he’s not going to be able to go for the one 67 now he’s just going to play for the pink but another few inches towards the pink with that Q ball and he was perfect on these two Reds to get back for black he can’t do that now he play for pink and try and consolidate the frame and indeed the match and looking on the bride side that might actually do him a favor because the pressure of making the 167 has now been alleviated all he’s thinking about is getting enough points on the board to get the victory under his belt 47 four I can hear some music being played in the room somewhere I think it’s outside Phil there lot going on outside ah right I think Mark Allen could also hear it he stepped away from that previous shot of course we’ve got the the big world heavyweight championship fight here in Boulevard City not far from the global theater here so plenty of excitement as we get towards the weekend final here tomorrow night and then of course the big fight on Saturday 61 62 it’s been a good match hasn’t it I mean it it hasn’t been long bels of safety it’s been good quality break building from both players and played very fluently as well yeah I’ve really enjoyed it I don’t think Mark Selby can be too disappointed if he does lose which now looks overwhelmingly likely but remarkably after clearing up with 68 from 65 n down in the third frame to go two on up since then he’s scored three points and I think that will be his lot what a turnaround from Mark Allen alenu will now improve his career head to-head record against Mark Selby to 11 wins against nine losses that’s an achievement in itself Ken yeah yeah not many players on the circuit would have such a good head-to-head against Mark cby that red is not going in good head-to-head against maxby that red is not going in so there are five Reds left therefore 67 on the table that means two Snookers needed well within his capabilities that though not what he wanted at least the Reds come away from the pocket for [Applause] has to drop on a color it’s essential he kns in this pink anyone else you’d say well this is a foror hope but you never know with Mark sby escapologist extraordinaire yeah absolutely what is he 68 with 59 so he basically needs three Snookers two Snookers possible free ball that’ be right 607 this would be 60 May well one snaker and a free ball would be enough but a very tall order but there’s no doubt if anybody could do it it’s definitely this man yeah 60 behind 51 on the table so 60 he could do with one more red black after this black and you just never know good shot take the inside red the red is closest to the 2 to the cushion yeah that’s pretty good now po the black it be what will he be 44 behind you could put the the red behind the black but I think knocking the red up into the bul area try and get it close to a bul color and try and get that QQ ball tight behind the black that would be a possibility see which way he goes about this yeah I think that’s what he’s going to try deal and of course we always say a certain player needs a certain number of Snookers but they need good Snookers don’t they Troublesome Snookers yeah really needs when he knocks this up into the ball car just well he’s tried to get it close to the blue but he needs he needs it in such an area that if Marx Allen does miss that there is a chance of a free ball there’s no chance of that really here okay he’s got a good snooker but it’s only off one cushion I think I would have preferred the red somewhere in the bulk area behind the ball color but also that Q ball really tucked up closer to the black now it is missable but you don’t expect it off one cushion yeah these players are just too good it really have to be a much more difficult snooker than that let’s just make one assumption here which is that Mark Allen wins remarkably it would then mean these two have played 220 frames over the years and it’s 110 each nicely matched or what well that was a big mistake from Max Elby yeah we could just I mean the ideal thing here is to well either try and snaker Max El you’re try and just knock that red over the hole I mean even if he does pot a red in a black you’re still going to need three Snookers so yeah knock it over the corner pocket oh well he’s a long way away working on the premise that it’s not just getting the Snookers but then making the clearance at least Allan putting the yellow safe is a another insurance policy just wondering can he possibly get right behind the yellow here lots of drag get right in behind the yellow would be pretty tough needed to block the part off the left hand side well there you can see there’s an actual there’s a hair on the cube ball close it’s just so close that the referee can’t get the ball marker at it can he get it from the other side you might have to play it with the with the hair on it he doesn’t like it he still should hit it again once again it’s like it’s a big Target the red oh he’s missed it he’s missed it well that is a surprise dare I say missed it by hair’s breath and will sel’s Bal ambition get the frame one still unlikely yeah it’s bit head scratcher that one wasn’t it Phil we’ve got to stop there now can he knock this right into the bul area and get it right behind the black look at this first shot look at this for a shot now that’s what I’m saying when you get it close to the black you see he stopped the he stopped the partway off the left hand side cushion because he’s close enough to the black off the right hand side cushion the blue could be in the way now this is more difficult can he swerve around the black and hit the red swerve around the black and hit the red another red in closer to the black and wow that would have been really tough but now he has Mark Allen under a bit of pressure this is not straightforward and the thing with Selby is this is not an isolated incident all of the players on the tour know that if they miss even a couple of balls after frame ball they could be put through the ringer and given a very Stern examination right swear I’ve been trying to miss the brown all the side is going to take oh what a shot that is what a wonderful shot that was a very very good to believe they can’t afford two rests over here in Saudi Phil what is a nice line is it this is a nice line it may may be very close oh a little bit softer a little bit softer of a kiss it would have been very very difficult he’s okay it’s an easy swerve shouldn’t be a problem but once again he’s really putting Mark Allen to the test here of course he doesn’t he doesn’t want to be involved in a frame where he needs multiple Snookers but there’s no one taking down on the Q ball very hard to have control okay that’s not too bad he’ll set up for that but he could be in trouble after his next shot close to the green using the green and the yellow as blockers and possibly can you imagine if you’re a low rank player a rookie up against this on the verge of beating Selby and he’s putting you under all of this pressure of course Mark Allen well used to it yeah but it’s still it’s over he’s still even though you’re 40 points ahead as M Allen is he still just want that red it disappeared couldn’t go for it that time but play a decent soker himself and that’s what you have to do straightforward for your opponent to lay a snooker it’s not a difficult hit yeah just Pro possibly two cushions here maybe one cushion it’s going over the corner pocket is it R to two the world number four defeats the world number five so plenty of good stuff in that m
