Challenge and we’ll see at the end count the points up and there’ll be a sixth challenge did to decide the winner okay um this one start here yeah basically you just got to put the balls in order all in order all the way up you get a point for each ball okay CU ball in hand you can start want the truth the truth it’s not good it’s not double figures does that give you a clue that’s okay it’s not double Figures it’s all about Cubo control can yes don’t think that’s the best shot either no you don’t want to be straight there well I’m just off straight so that was a bit Twitchy that was a bit Twitchy he’s in trouble already oh good but that’s it that’s it I can’t I can’t avoid touching another red I was trying not to move red oh I tell you if I don’t be three Steven Henry scores two three was it three oh you got one mid yeah you got one in the middle yeah Mark Collins over there absolutely pissing himself laugh yeah he probably he’ll probably get about he probably get about 20 in this why don’t you give yourself a bit more room with the red H look at this about five Reds in between there come on it doesn’t matter this on the fource one I can’t believe that three that’s dis three three I tell you oh you got three yeah yeah sorry oh that’s just I don’t know why I’m laughing because if I get I mean I used to pray myself a CU control now it’s absolutely just deserted me one oh look at this look at this has equaled it he’s got it on a St ring never seen you concentrate this hard just once I got by your score I was happy pressure but apparently a play 30 can’t say who oh oh you got a chance now you know the most difficult part of it is the first five or six balls once you get up to this that it’s easy seven oh it’s flying though he’s flying flying why do you sound so surprised oh no what did I do there eight oh done there up here oh my God I know but what a shot that was that was just that was a that was just that was he’s butchered it as he say in commentary he won’t be happy with that one John clumsy I would say so get oh that was such a bad shot I was I was going down all right there yeah oh look at this ah come on nine nine can speak German as well Dennis Taylor joke there oh I tell what this gu there I’d be happy o great effort first challenge points ahead give me another go no no you one one chance give me another go give me another Second Challenge okay six Reds yeah we got six Reds six different colors once you put the color it stays down we frown upon moving the Reds if you let a little if it if it if the CU happens happens to as it as it I did with Mark Williams the cuble kind of brushed up moved a little bit but we no you go first cuz you got to show me no but it’s alternate okay all right okay you’re making up the rules as you go along no it’s all no you start so you can choose any red you want this would be like one of your brakes anyway six or six different colors nothing new there nothing new there okay five bur stays done oh oh six stop look at I mean how lucky is he I he’s absolutely over sco by so much and he’s Nic and yellow in the middle how my landed there shot Ken Dy scores eight excuse the language give me another to go no ah come on it’s one it’s one chance one goal it’s one goal is a give me one more give me another goal come on you got give you got to give me a chance come on no no chance yeah it’s probably the right shot all right CH you youve let my chalk was a regular that was a regular right in the heart of the pocket that was four five stop stop 11 oh I I brushed it I’m Lo a little brush a little BR no that’s a foul the Green’s not stayed down oh yeah or the pink not bad not bad always play for the blue stop all yellow with the rest don’t fancy that one only Dro was better than you with the rest oh stays down stay down stay that’s not bad 22 23 not bad he’s going to clear it yeah good show 30 oh look at this look at this look at this look very good very good thank you oh so much and that will be the end of the Q-tips for today third challenge clear the colors but as you can see they’re not on their normal SP so basic trying to clear the colors okay my turn to go first okay be happy that little bit short of pace there John oh it’s good recovery sweet good recovery that was sweet o that was not so sweet that was bitter that was salty oh oh no oh no nobody likes to see that what a terrible shot of the brown yeah come on Boss that’s a shot though man it’s still on the tour oh good jot five H nine needs to go needs to go 14 need to go 14 ah 20 yes he’ll be happy with that one [Laughter] John he’s back in the game he’s back back in the game back in the game fourth challenge is a speed challenge so you got 90 seconds to clear all the Reds okay if you don’t clear them it’s a point per red if you do clear in the 90 seconds you get a 10 point bonus you only get one go obviously I mean of course you get one no if you miss keep going oh you miss keep going yeah you going to try Andy if you miss yeah absolutely keep going cuz no doubt one of us might miss yeah it’s good chance of that very good chance absolutely well Ken’s taking his shot I’ll explain to you a

it’s unbelievable SP yes would [Laughter] say 10 seconds oh I H that a little bit short a little bit short hit it quick oh clear it’s gone time’s up time’s up seconds is up K scores 14 no so much time there you’re going so well have you done this before I done it of course I practiced a little bit no but have you uh yeah have you done it in 0 yep o this is going well John he seems to have got a skates on moving around the other side of the table doesn’t help I’ve left these two Reds up there though I’m not happy about come back have to come back to them at some stage o 10 seconds oh look at this what a shot oh no please go in yes oh look at the position couldn’t couldn’t track an elevator in the snow oh I’m lucky where what what am I doing how were you ever one of the best break builders in the game cuz I’m used to playing pres Precision shots I mean I’ve left a couple in the col cushion and everything oh it’s not many seconds 15 15 just get one I suppose very good 10 seconds hit it hold on you might cut this one in FL it very good the fifth challenge is a safety challenge which obviously he’s going to be favorite for you know crafty Ken here so basically you can put the Q ball on yellow spot or green spot okay it’s a figure of eight safety shot so of 1 2 three cushions okay if you play to Canon five Reds get one point if you choose to try and Canon one red Five Points okay you get three shots yeah so it’s an accumulation of points now it’s me to go first now I think I’m going to go for the one pointer first okay just to get a oh just point on the board just to get a gauge here here yeah it’s a bit of a slider right so that’s a Miss that’s a Miss yeah I don’t even know if the shots is on on the match table cuz the cloth’s So Different yeah I you got you’ve got a hit around here yeah I think we might have to a slight difference today because of the tournament table I don’t think the shots on it is on yeah it is on it is on yeah okay hit it pretty thick right yeah that looks pretty good is on yeah oh you would have got the poin there well I’ve got to go for it he’s got a in the bag John oh is it is it going to reach no it’s not going to reach oh the last shot was so good you hit it very thick there didn’t you too thick the last one so one point for me you’re the crafty Ken you should be going I’m going to go for the five pointer oh no yeah close that’s no good that’s not good oh this is good no no it’s too much slide ah you wouldn’t have even got a onep pointer All or Nothing Steven All or Nothing bit more bottom I think no oh got well that’s why that that’s why I say safety play so overrated I mean we both had three shots each one nil safety plays rubbish so the scores after those five challenges 59 ooh 58 oh so I’m one point in the lead so we got one final challenge okay to decide the winner I’ll go first cuz I’m in the lead okay so basically you’re throwing the balls down the table yeah they’ve got to hit the cushion okay so where the balls land you just got to put as many balls as you can as John Vargo would say the colors have got their their usual values but you don’t put red color red color you just put all just put as many as you can okay yeah fair enough okay let’s go need the colors in the open oh I mean what’s the the worst thrower it’s not too bad actually not too bad keeps me down the business end of the table Ken one great jot you have to take the brown here the brown is a shot no it’s spider no Brown it’s got to be the brown what Brown in here dead straight look at him look what he’s taking here I’ll go for the eight points look I can’t believe you did that oh oh fell can I have a chalk please he keeps on hiding the chalk that was a good shot by the way what’s that eight eight nine 10 11 does the blue go does the blue go is there is it past the red is it yeah I’m playing for it so I hope it goes 12 is he done me now the fly’s in there you f a bus in there and the driver ah is he playing on there oh very good 18 very good 22 28 he’s taking all the high vent colors off the table Yeah makes a difference sure 32 s a decent Target here oh unlucky good score though many was that 32 it’s not bad is it not bad at all so before you start so 32 yeah and 33 points in front in the challenge okay so 33 to draw everything’s there [Applause] yeah go safe black look at this oh part the yellow the yellow comes back up I don’t want I to do it at two points I’ll put it on its spot that’s the difference I need to learn my throws 33 to tie 34 to win little chalk there look at I’m pinking black first well what do you want me to do here once you miss though that’s it yeah yeah six don’t think I’ve ever been this excited or nervous 13 [Music] 14 oh a little bit indecision yeah little bit of indecision he wants to clear the pocket for the blue 15 19 24 oh it’s getting it’s getting a bit Twitchy 27 you’ve gone favor it I’m not going to lie can’t favor it but I don’t know what to do here now well I mean you got to put you’re 27 you got to put eight Reds to or six Reds and a pink six Reds and a pink where’s the pink oh the yellow sorry the yellow I’m going mad with the excitement oh 28 huh what was that 28 what did I say before what have I done there good shot stop good shot but he’s stop he’s lost a q ball John Sean the yellow I have a he done no oh what a shame what a shame Henry wins wins well done well what a great challenge yes good one that actually
