2024 Masters - Jan 7th to Jan 14th - BBC/Eurosport

AllForIt

I'm delighted Trump did not win another final frame decider.

A great break there by Carter so a well deserved win.

Arthur Daley

That was very risky and very good 1st cut back black by Allen in this 147 attempt.

Arthur Daley

Another great cut back to save the maximum

Arthur Daley

5 or 6 great pressure shots in that. Enjoyable maximum

Great maximum far from straight forward, lots of iffy shots. I was worried he was going to foul cueing over that red late on (3 reds left).

HeidiHeidi

I arrived in the door, turned on the snooker, and there's a 147 just developing - perfect timing!

Great break by Allen, he certainly went the long, awkward way about it, but never lost his nerve.

Fair dues, delighted for him!

DJIMI TRARORE

Not to many tournaments that have produced 2 147s,I recall it happened once,is he in line for the 147,000 bonus as well?

He is yeah, so Allen and Ding will have their own competition going on at the World championship..

patrickc

this is such a scrappy match

HeidiHeidi

This could go on half the night at the rate they're playing 🙄

Allen trying to grind down Selby

Not looking hopeful for much Top Of The Pops before bed time

Selby is loving every minute of this.

Arthur Daley

Oh, it is back to the music on 4. Keep an eye on the snooker on BBC 2.

These are the types of misses that would lead you look for unusual betting patterns

HeidiHeidi

Looks like going to a decider.... Selby seems to be pulling himself back from the brink

HeidiHeidi

I typed too soon!!

C'mon Mark!! (A)

Yeah I have to laugh at that when the crowd shout 'C'mon Mark'. It could be for any of them for getting the chance or missing a bad shot.

I heard one voice from the crowd say 'Selby' but it did not take.

HeidiHeidi

All Selby's birthdays came at once in this frame!

Arthur Daley

If somebody had a few quid for this match he has gone a very convoluted way about it

patrickc

mark Allen to win

Arthur Daley

Sloppy misses on both sides

Comic Book Guy

Super brown to win it. Well done Mark Allen

patrickc

Happy day's

AllForIt

I was hoping it would go to a final frame decider as I suspeced it would be fairly dramatic and it was.

Great brown there in the end by Allen.

Allen looks surprisingly fresh after that match. I don't think he will have as much trouble with Carter as he did with Selby.

Brian?

Went to bed last night at 4-4. Was wrecked and convinced Selby was broken.

from 4-1 to 4-4 I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play as badly. I do wonder if the venue is effecting the players. Flys landing on balls, to cold, noise complaints etc. .

Ronnie is a numpty, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day

gormdubhgorm

Murphy seems to have the pace of the table laying snookers frame 1 v Ronnie. But Ronnie has thrown in a few careless shots (I don't understand why) still won the frame though.

gormdubhgorm

Lisowski on analysis in studio, interesting to hear his thought processes on the game. Because to be honest, I see Lisowski as a very one demensional player when he is playing in a match himself.

gormdubhgorm

Could be a short match at this rate Ronnie 2-0 up without having to hit top gear.

Sandor Clegane

Ronnie strolling into another final.
