Had Mark Allen @ 14/1 e/w. I think that is slightly overpriced. He has got a World Title in him and this could just be his year to do it.
Also had a couple pennies e/w on Kurt Maflin @ 66/1. I was impressed by his break building in his 1st match. He has also been practicing with Jimmy White during lock down, which will certainly help his game. Tough opponent in John Higgins next, but it will do his confidence a world of good if he manages to beat him. I also think this is the type of player who will now feel less pressure due to there being no Crucible crowd.
Not liking the clapping machine TBH.
I will also predict Brentford to win in the play off Final.

Kurt. Well played Sir. Got a great sweat on now for my pennies.
If Wilson would've gave away a deliberate foul after that fluke it would've gone down in history as the greatest piece of sportsmanship ever.
EDIT Just realised he would've forfeited the frame and not just give away 4 points,so it wasn't an option.
Incredible frame!
Couldn't see anyone ever doing this (if it was an option)....especially in a world semi final deciding frame! Yes, players hold a hand up (usually) when they get a fluke but secretly they'll be absolutely ******* delighted
Just caught the highlights of the final frame. looked a good one to watch live.
Great to see Kyren Wilson in the final and rough on Anthony McGill.
Have been a small admirer of Kyren since his gesture advising the referee not to remove an audience member from the game. Can't remember the circumstances however I guess they were a bit vocal. Seems to have a bit of class anyway.
Ronnie getting to the final is also good for the sport. Selby well known for his snookers and not being very entertaining to watch. Not sure where he is coming from when calling Ronnie "disrespectful" to the game. Maybe raw emotion straight after the loss as he was 16 - 14 up and lost three in a row.
Not sure what is disrespectful about hitting the cue ball harder than normal. Maybe that's like explaining why slow-rolling is seen as irritating to someone who doesn't play poker.

Great performance & he fully deserved his win.
Never seen a frame like it.
High scoring, too - 168 points on the board & still 25 left on the table.

Absolutely amazing frame.
