Bingham leading 16-15 now ... drama! Trump just made a century break to get his 15th, after Bingham had made one to make it 16-14!

... and another century by Trump to make it 16-16. Incredible finish to this semi-final!

Trump's looking really focused now. Hard to call it, but Bingham looks the more nervous of the two going into this deciding frame...

First chance to Bingham, but the balls aren't sitting too favourably...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Advantage Bingham, with 43 points up on the scoreboard versus Judd's 6, but this is getting very very tactical...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Tactical, but Bingham has it! I'm pretty disappointed; I wanted to see Trump make the final.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I hoped for Trump as well, but I am impressed by some of the shots Bingham made in that last frame. He deserved it in the end. Still think Murphy will cruise to victory though.

Here, we finally have a team that might do something. In hockey, The Wild could really use a win tomorrow night. They need to win 4 out of 7 games twice in 2 rounds of playoffs. They lost the first game last night. It sure would be nice to see a major sports team here actually win a world championship.

One day I'm going to calculate what percentage of my music collection consists of demos, alternate mixes and other so-called "bonus tracks" that I never listen to.

(Not today, obviously.)

That would be sweet if Maiden released demo versions of some songs.

I don't know if he'll cruise it; but, yeh, I agree Murphy will probably triumph. Bingham has been pretty dogged throughout though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him hang in there for most of the match. It isn't really the final I was looking for.

They need to do that 3 more times, not 2. And sorry, I don't think the Wild get past the Hawks this time.

Anyone up for a Maidenfans film night at some point?

No, I have better things to do.

More breaking Maiden news: Nicko is still watching the snooker!

So, the final is well underway, and Bingham followed Murphy closely through the first session, holding him to 4.4. Now Murphy got a good start to the evening session, winning the first frame after Bingham first had scored a 50+ break.

"Holding" is the word. Murphy looks the more likely of the two to build a lead here, in the second session, as he did early in the first.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

And build he does. Extending the lead to 7-4 now, with a break of 121.

3 more times? Are you sure about that?

And finishing 9-8 to Murphy at the end of the second session. Talk about close...
