I hope Ding wins. It would be nice to see a non-Brit win the world championship, seeing as though the vast majority of winners have been Brits. But Selby's been very sturdy throughout the tournament so will be very difficult for Ding. At least he was able to claw back some frames tonight.

Selby leads 14-11 going into the final session. Will he hold his nerve and get the 4 frames he needs to be world champion?

your bet @10/1 is looking good, how much did you have on?

[robbie9]

twenty euro.

not bad, couple of punts with the winnings? You going to trade off or leave it?

[robbie9]

Selby is getting nervous, good thing he's already won one of these

Enjoy your winning , well done Selby.

Is the comeback on? Selby looked beaten a few frames ago but now he's in with a chance. Long way to go yet.

Seriously impressive from Selby , it looked curtains at 10-4.

Selby needed that good finish to the session to stay in it, going to be a close one.

[robbie9]

Selby leads 13-11 , this is a sadistic performance.
