First big tournament of the year, "BGC Partners Masters" to be held at Alexandra Palace
in London with the participation of 16 best based on the ranking of points, who play
1-16, 2-15, 3-14 etc with the difference that NOXUMX is the last winner and
NOXNXX the world champion.
Last year's winner was Chinese Ding Junhui on Marco Fu with 10-4, while World
champion is Scottish John Higgins. The tournament's favorite is Scott Stephen
Hendry with 6 conquests (the five consecutive 1989-1993) followed by four
Ronnie O 'Sullivan who is once again one of the favorites. Competition is big this year too
and this also appears in the odds for the winner of the tournament, where four players are given
about the same performance, namely Trump, Selby around 7.5 and O'Sullivan, Higgins
around 8.
So the couples are as follows with the winners judging who will be the first to 6
wins:
1. Ding Junhui (1) -Ronnie O 'Sullivan (14)
2. Judd Trump (8) -Stuart Bingham (11)
3. Neil Robertson (5) -Mark Allen (12)
4. Mark J. Williams (4) -Stephen Maguire (9)
5. Mark Selby (3) -Stephen Lee (13)
6. Shaun Murphy (6) -Martin Gould (16)
7. Allister Carter (7) -Graeme Dott (10)
8. John Higgins (2) -Matthew Stevens (15)
Tomorrow noon (15 / 1) starts the tournament with his fight Junhui against the O'Sullivan.
They have met in five 3 wins for O'Sullivan one for Junhui and one game
a tie for the Premier League clubs and a draw. I believe the Englishman is
a fair favorite in odds around 1.6, while all frames will be marginally around 9 with 10
which is the limit. My choice from this fight will be the English win at 1.6
at betfair.
In the second game of the day the Welsh play Mark Williams No4 on the board with the Scotsman
Stephen Maguire NOXNXX here, a game that is clearly more ambitious. The games between them are
shared 2-2, the Scotsman comes from good appearances at the Players Tour Championship
was last week and won John Perry in the final. Though a favorite is given
Welsh, I will prefer Maguire to 2.4 (Betfair)
