Anna Prisjažņuka won her 2nd European Championship. 👏 In a repeat of last year's final she got the better of Rebecca Kenna this time.

The final was close from start to finish and Anna eventually won the match on the pink in the decider.

Most events on the Main Tour are for 128 players. But there are 144 places in the UK Championship, so there are multiple ways to gain a wildcards for it as an amateur player.

Price money, points towards the Q Tour rankings and a spot in the UK Championship.

Very enjoyable first frame between Mark Allen and Oli Lines. That was one for everyone who enjoys good safety exchanges. Eventually it was won by Oli Lines on the respotted black.

By all common rules, Judd Trump is going to win the Xi'an Grand Prix now. 🤯

I'm really happy WST have revised the way they do their draws this season, but obviously coincidence can be a bitch too. Stan Moody playing Ali Carter three times in just a month is quite funny.

Målin @eselfreund.bsky.social · 1d

Not entirely sure, but I guess they wouldn't count.

And they shouldn't. It's a completely different field of attendees. Doesn't make sense in my eyes to include Q School in professional stats. So yes, I'd exclude Q School.

Never trust your gut statistics, but IF that roughly continues until the end of the season, it can't be a coincidence surely. That data point is wild.

Short break at work, checking the snooker results, ohh a 147. But also:

I want in my break exactly what He Guoqiang had in his interval, PLEASE:

Scoresheet. After winning frame 1, He lost 3 frames in a row to Xu Yichen. Then He Guoqiang won the next four with breaks of 61, 92, 135 and 128. Xu only scored 23 points in frame 5 and none in the last 3 frames.

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes?

EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.

Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?

EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.
