The Scottish open is being held in Llandudno this year as the snooker calendar has rolled on from the great story of the Uk championship.
First hurdle defeats for Mark Allen, Stuart Bingham and Barry Hawkins once again just show the strength and depth of the tour.
There has been a lot of uproar about the pay structure of the current tour as many feel it’s to top heavy with many players struggling financially and it brings the question that should first round losers be paid as they have earned their right to be professionals.
My personal opinion is that if you have earned the right to be a professional you should be guaranteed at least your expenses covered so that you are not out of pocket but Barry Hearn sees things very different but it’s an argument that will rumble on.
There were round 1&2 victories for Mark Selby,Judd Trump and Ronnie O’Sullivan as the last 32 starts on Wednesday 8th December.
