We have seen the first 64 players competing in the first round .

As this event has a unique set of rules compared to normal tournaments being matches lasting a maximum of 10 minutes and a shot clock of 15 seconds for the first 5 minutes and then reduces to 10 seconds for the last 5. This makes for a lot of pressure on players.

We also saw the reigning Champion Michael Holt win his match against Jamie Jones .

There was also an outstanding achievement  with the first century break of 142 by Mark Allen when he competed against Jimmy Robertson in today’s play.

It all commences again tomorrow at 1pm.
