    Big mistake by Selby to snooker himself there

    Wow. What a mistake.

    Edit: well done ref, an awkward position to be in. It didn't look like it hit the black to me.

    It doesn't have to move. Silly error for Selby to make all the same.

    The white seemed to rock back, which would suggest to me it hit the black.

    I didn't think it hit the black from the initial replays, and from the last replay to the side, I still don't think it hit it

    I know but if it moved even a bit there wouldn't have been a question.

    And good that Jan verhaas was the ref in the situation.

    It could roll back without hitting. Definitely didn't hit imo. Selby was looking a bit twichy anyway in that frame.

    That was silly but the white seemed to drop back slightly. The black didn't move though in my opinion.

    Higgins has to make him pay. Red on the right on the cushion is the key one obviously

    Ref's decision is final but fair play to him for taking the video replay into account when he didn't have to.

    Don't think he hit it. If he had barely hit it and the black rolled back then the two balls would have been touching, which they clearly weren't.

    Poor shot there. Massive shot on the black now

    Edit: he looks to have got away with it and at least didn't leave the red on

    Did Embassy have rights to that kind of setup with the globe and colouring? Because once their sponsorship ended the globe disappeared.

    Doubt they had the rights, organizers probably just wanted to spruce up the 'set'. The globe setup looks very dated now imo and I always hated that colour.

    Yep hard to see how it wouldn't have ended up as a TB played at that pace. So he probably just failed to hit it

    Ohh Higgins a good bit off with that black
