What a great night of snooker. Was hoping Lisowski would win against Bingham, but pleased for Higgins. Thought Allen had him, but that was some clearance in the deciding frame.

With Trump out I'm thinking a Higgins v O'Sullivan final now.

I would love that to be the final, but have a feeling Bingham might grind out the win tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

Kyren Wilson is about to knock Higgins out.

No surprise, Wilson's been ahead in that from the start. Don't mind Wilson tbh, probably because he always reminds me of Droopy. :)

Bingham wins it 13-10. Disappointed for Ronnie as I''d like him to win an 8th World title, but Bingham deserved it over the course of the match.

Not the most exciting semi-final line-up, but would like Kyren Wilson or Dave Gilbert to win it from here.

I was at the Crucible for the Saturday evening session so feel a bit invested in Bingham and Wilson

It’s very hard to pick a winner from the last four; all of them have raised their games substantially. It could even be an all-qualifier final!

It's the battle of the text speak first names. Hope Wilson wins it but glad Jones is making a game of it. That last frame was a bit dramatic, and winning it is a massive boost for Wilson.

I don't mind who wins. It'll be nice to see a new winner, and both seem like good lads.

I was there too that night. Wilson looked good I thought. Seemed to be more fluent and a bit quicker this year.

Had a bit of a problem with not having enough space between the table and the new advertising surround. It's not great, surprised that wasn't checked when they designed it.
