[Lord Snooty]

Robertson beats Liang Wenbo 10-5. Liang came back to level at 5-5, but the Aussie took the next five. Not straight forward, but he's there.
A bit tighter on the other table. Gilbert 8-7 up on Maflin, with loads of century breaks in it.

Maflin level again at 8-8 with another century break. But after 13 reds and blacks the break broke as he had to send the cue ball round the table to get back to the black and it hit the yellow. He flicked the bird at the cue ball and has now been given the yellow card for ungentlemanly conduct.
