Cheers bear..exciting who gets to 17 first

 

[Freddeno]

Come on Trump, get that final frame!

 

[The Bear]

Bingham will be shitting it if it goes to a decider from being three frames ahead.

 

[Freddeno]

Well it will..

 

[Freddeno]

What a shot

 

[Freddeno]

Bingham is playing great under pressure, getting close to the final

 

[The Bear]

Bada-Bing. Trump out.

Terrific plant at the end there.

 

[Freddeno]

Bingham wins 17-16!

 

[Freddeno]

Murphy has to be favourite tomorrow though Bingham has nothing to lose

 

[The Bear]

Based on experience and pure attacking play you'd have to fancy Murphy.

You never know once you get out there though.

You never know once you get out there though.

Even though he's got a two frame lead, Murphy has been below average so far in the final. If Bingham can keep putting him under pressure with his safety play, he has a chance. Murphy is missing standard pots now, it seems like if you put any pressure on him, he struggles.

I reckon that's because he likes to get the crowd going with flashy shots instead of just ensuring the pot therefore when he's under pressure he can't play with this freedom and he becomes rigid.

Ooh. Bingham misses out on a 147 on the last red. Had to move it off the cushion from the last black but stuck tight on the red with it right near the middle bag.

Such a shame as there's never been a 147 in the final before. Great effort though.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Getting tense now, Stuart let Murphy back in with that last frame.

 

[Parkins left foot]

When the finishing line beckons - its how you cope with the pressure.

Has Bingham got it in him - we will find out tonight.

 

[SouthWestWolf]

Bingham has been faltering a bit this evening.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Bingham has been faltering a bit this evening.

He has to start capitalising on Murphy's mistakes, attempting that swerve shot for a tight red was stupid.
His form and confidence in the last frame was much better, I think the pressure may be getting to him.
I hope he can do it.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Monumental 65 min frame.

Won by Bingham - a real boost for him. If you are going to play a frame like that, then you need to make sure that you win it.

 

[The Bear]

Bingham will win it in this 33rd frame now. The reds are just too nicely spread NOT to make a 60+ break.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If he gets over the line then it's been an incredibly strong mental effort. To beat first Ronnie, then Trump in a last frame decider, then go through a marathon final against a guy who looked in top form in all his other games and come out of all that on top - absolutely brilliant.
