amazing game. Well done Fu. A true gentleman. How Robertson will regret his outburst after winning his 11th frame

Incredible snooker this evening, and a brilliant black by Fu to finish it!

A huge roar, jump and thumped the table. Reminded me of Selby

Absolutely delighted for Marco Fu. And I hope he trounces Selby.

PS Good to see the BBC doing studio coverage on red button . About bloody time.

Fu has already put in some mileage , out again at 14:30 against Selby tomorrow.

Fu is an absolute gentleman

Say Your Number

Balls of steel by Fu to get that, would love to see him go on to win it but Selby then Ding/Ronnie might be a bit too much for him.

This top half might beat each other up so much in the next two round that by the final someone like Hawkins is likely to come in far the fresher. Nobodies attitude has impressed me more than his so far this tournament, think he'll have the least trouble making the semi's.

Controversial maybe but I don't like Fu after the "not calling himself on a foul" incident.
I was rooting for Robertson.

Brian?

I'd love to see Fu go all the way, if no other reason than to see how he celebrates winning the World Championship. I imagine he'll nod slight and politely shake the losers hand.

There is no way he noticed, it was the slightest graze against the ball from his waistcoast which is quite loose from his body and also has a shirt in between. Delighted he won though and was quite humble in victory. Hope he absolutely destroys Selby

What a game last night. It's funny that a match with so much scrappiness and misses can provide so much entertainment.

Delighted for Fu. I thought Robertsons outburst after going ahead seemed to give Marco more of a boost than himself.

Marco is an absolute gent. Backed him to win the tournament at the start, so I'm glad he's still there for that reason too!

Fu ain't no fool. His shot on the yellow was as wild as I've seen but his overall temperament is right there and getting better. A man for the big occasion.

I completely agree, there is no way he could have known he touched it

I think the poster was referring to Marco Fu moving a red with his finger against Mark Selby last year. He didn't call a foul on himself although he clearly would have been able to feel it. He played dumb in the press conference afterwards.

He definitely wouldn't have felt the waistcoat one last night. Though his integrity was never called in to question on that one as Jan Verhass called it immediately.

People who got tickets for table two today would have gotten 3 frames this afternoon and a complete blank this evening. Horrible luck.

The afternoon session was great. They brought out Ebdon and Denis Taylor to play and virgo commentating, was great fun actually.

Rob Walker did the introductions as normal, but "this time you can leave your phones on, this time you can do whatever yous want"

Oh good, glad to hear it.

This really is total snooker.

El Clasico of the snooker world.

Peter File

Looking like being another classic. This has been my most enjoyable championship in years. The other game is looking good as well with Wilson recovering from 2 down to draw level.

mdwexford

3-3.

Think Ding needs one of the next two. To go from 3 up to 5-3 behind at the end of the session won't be good for the confidence.

Passenger

Ding and Ronnie 3 - 3.

Peter File

4:3 Ding
