    Greene is 6-9 down to the Brazilian.
    He played well did Greene in the China Open so it would be a boost for Gould if he goes out.

    So Martin plays Igor next, should be a good match up but I think Martin will be too good for him. Stats from the matches just played…
    Martin: 3 x century breaks + 4 x 50 breaks
    Igor: 1 x century break + 3 x 50 breaks

    Sunday 11am is the first session. No odds yet.

    Gould 1/5. Perhaps there might be a handicap market before the match starts or something.

    Martin is 5-0 up already !!

    He had a 134 break in the first frame and hasn’t looked back since.

    Wenbo and Gould should be a cracker, wouldn’t look out of place if it was the Championship proper.

    Gould takes the first 2 frames, making a century in the second, that would of been my bet if I could of found some odds over 3.5 tons in the match.

    A brilliant 137 to go 3-0 up. The man is on fire !!

    I managed to snap up all offers over 200/1 at Betfair all £7’s worth :D To win the World Championship that is.

    It’s now 3-2 and we are seeing the "darker" side of martin Gould’s game, his shot selection when it counts.

    In the 4th frame he was comfortably leading but decided to take on a risky shot when he could have played safe. This then meant Wenbo had a chance to get his confidence and stick in a nice break to take the mid-session break 3-1 down. Up until then Wenbo had spent most of his time away from the table and looked shaky missing 2 realtively straight forward chances. That break gave him a boost, the break came at the right time and then he takes the 5th, game has swung his way now.

    Martin just needs to be more ruthless and realise that he cannot win by simply knocking in big breaks.

    I wonder if Martin reads this forum as that is exactly what he did – get far more ruthless.

    Wenbo hit back to make the score 3-3 but then Martin hammered in balls from all over the table to win the next 3 and currently leads 6-3.

    Game recommences at 5pm UK time.

    Mid session break and Martin leads Wenbo 8-5.

    Come on Martin just 2 more frames and you’re playing at the Crucible for the big prize !!
