With the start of Round Three another 30 players are hoping to ensure they secure the valuable frames needed to continue in the tournament in Belfast at the Waterfront Hall venue .
Again another day of shock exits from the tournament where we see players such as Ronnie O’Sullivan lose the deciding frame to David Grace . Sadly O’Sullivan was joined by Jimmy Robertson , Mark King , Barry Hawkins and Kyren Wilson who wont be moving forward to Round Four .
There is all still to play for and the reigning Champion Mark Allen is determined to retain the Trophy showing his sheer determination and skill against Andy Lee in tonight’s match
