Its bad enough when this happens for an event with ranking points, but for essentially a tournament that doesnt really matter, you wonder why so many of these players are putting themselves at financial risk?<br /><br />For the 3rd most established / well known event in China to have a pityful prize fund of under 60k is a joke really. If the game is booming in China, just where are the sponsors? And dont give me that global financial crisis baloney, Chinas the worlds fastest growing economy and surely the alleged tv audiences of tens, even hundreds of millions in the Far East must tempt some sponsors to stump up more than just a few buttons for the 16 players in this event.Witz78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-33248838906000750222011-07-06T01:08:04.206+01:002011-07-06T01:08:04.206+01:00You can always see how intimidated Hendry is when ...You can always see how intimidated Hendry is when he plays Stevens.Betty Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-52810158412422420492011-07-06T00:20:52.107+01:002011-07-06T00:20:52.107+01:00Good commentator Ebdon.Good commentator Ebdon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-21973877378937623602011-07-05T22:58:28.072+01:002011-07-05T22:58:28.072+01:00thats a compliment.

He could have taken a routine blue, but could only tie, so opted for the all-or-nothing pink. It had echoes of the Higgins semi 20 years previously. That was shot selection that separates world class players from journeymen. I'm not an Ebdon fan, but credit where it is due. Stevens missed a simple red to win the match 17-14, and it probably would have been his year if not for that.Betty Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-2503850031585243522011-07-05T17:43:06.503+01:002011-07-05T17:43:06.503+01:00Anyone know why the solihull leg of the Premier Le...Anyone know why the solihull leg of the Premier League has been scrapped?
