Down to the colours in Frame 2. My man Vinnie just missed a thin attempt at the green badly, but Boiko also missed it, and Vinnie cleared up to make it 1-1

[Captain Hobo]

I've watched Vinnie's missed green again. It was nailed to the cushion and he hit the cushion first and barely even hit the green.

It was a good effort to clear the colours after that considering how badly he missed the previous attempt

[Captain Hobo]

Was 39-39 with 1 red left and Vinnie didn't get on the colour from the 2nd last red so tried to roll up to the green, but left it well short.

[Captain Hobo]

Boiko was eventually left the last red over the pocket but needed the spider to bridge over the yellow, and has hit the black with his cue after potting the red.

[Captain Hobo]

Vinnie really is not very good. played a horrible safety on the brown, somehow was left a shot at it next time, but missed the pot and went in off.

But Boiko has missed the blue. As has Vinnie. Boiko pots blue and pink to lead 2-1.

[Captain Hobo]

Vinnie has made a decent break to win Frame 4.

He dropped his chalk on the table at one stage, luckily it didn't hit a ball.

It was painful viewing. I gave up at the interval

Mark Joyce hit a 147 which is the 4th in Q Tour history. All have been made this season

Massive pockets mate, gaping like a pornstar

Massive pockets mate, gaping like a pornstar

There could be no jaws at all and Vinnie wouldn't make a 147 on today's evidence.

May god have mercy on his soul

[Captain Hobo]

Boiko won 6-5 in over 5 hours.

His highest break of the match was 33.

Fucking hell jesus christ

[Captain Hobo]

The 3 Tour cards from the Q Tour playoffs were won by Florian Nuessle, Steven Hallworth and Liam Highfield.

An acceptable list along with Zhao Xintong who won the Tour itself.

[shenmue]

I love me a bit of xintong mate

[Captain Hobo]

Ding played terribly in losing 6-2 to Mark Williams

[shenmue]

Williams says he was practically blind so that must be a new low for gorgeous ding
