Most Tough Snookers EVER!!

These are the craziest snookers to escapes. A little bit reluctant to play off of the blue and pink because where they're positioned it would make a counter-attack very very difficult. So ideally would like to play the brown and leave the blue and pink where they are. I'm just trying to drift the white in behind them. I don't think you can do that though does he? I think he's just gonna he's just gotta concentrate and get it because if he gets the cue ball really tight behind the blue And the blue, it's almost... It's so difficult to hit this. I mean, this is almost an impossible snooker. How does he get out of this? It is almost impossible, this. Where did you say that white line was, Ken? I'll try and work something out for you. Yeah, good luck. The commentators predicted this was almost impossible to escape from. I'll tell you what, Houdini could get out of this one. Maybe, well, there may be one angle here. Just Mr. Brown, Mr. Green. It was a great attempt. Well, no miss. Well, the miss is called, but I mean, he could get enough points here. Well, there's 33 points in the difference, so one more miss. If he doesn't hit it this time, he's going to need a snooker, but almost impossible to hit this. Julian is already on the edge of a snooker-required stage, so if he misses the red this time, no miss will be called. Bridging over the blue makes it even more difficult, doesn't it, to get the right reaction off the cue ball here. Foul. Neil Robertson for here. I'm not surprised that the white's left the bed of the table there, having to dig very high, making the cue ball bounce. Next, Judd Trump puts Ronnie O'Sullivan in trouble. The thin one, you've got to make sure and keep the object ball safe. That's what he's tried, and it's a pretty good effort. Excellent. Yeah, good shot. Ronnie's got to be very careful here. He might play this at pace. Played two cushions, that's not worked. The reason he's playing two cushions is obviously because he doesn't want to push the green over the corner. That's what he's looking at somewhere along that line. He's misjudged it again, it's just sliding off the cushion there. And a miss, good from four. After several attempts, Ronnie changed his plan, but it was an even more difficult way to escape this time. Got to just readjust the first cushion that he's hitting. Right the way around the table, backwards there, Ronnie. Change of plan now. This is even more difficult. An effort, what an effort this is. This could be one of the great escapes. Absolutely incredible. It was one of the finest escapes I've seen in many a year. In a sequence, Gary Wilson lays Judd Trump one of the toughest snooker traps. The natural safety, shall we? That should be careful. He doesn't send the pink into the pocket. Oh, yeah, he'd plant that in the pocket, so. Very awkward indeed. Hoping it squeezes the pink away, or can he hit the other side of it with a swerve? Just about. And here, by the way. What a job he's done there! Snookers snookered behind the black, the pink, the blue, and the brown. To be sure, to be sure, to be sure, to be sure. Too difficult to hit the yellow from here and not left a free ball. That's amazing because there's only a little bit of the yellow sticking out if he comes off the left side cushion. That would be some shot, I mean, to skim the yellow from that position. I'm sure he's had a look at it, but it's crucial this. Can he find that line? No. You see? All right, now he's left the yellow, but I don't think he'll be taking it. This will be going back. Pretty good. Happy to sit there and get these penalty points. Quite full, the chance of potting it. Anthony McGill gives away far too many points from a snooker in the deciding frame of a World Championship semi-final. That black goes in the pocket, then you see it's a free ball. Risky shot, Anthony McGill there. I knew he could safely play it there and he's got it behind the yellow as well. He's played that behind the yellow, that's a brilliant shot. Well, there are so many traps that he needs to avoid here. Yeah, obviously he doesn't want to come down and miss the red, pot the black, the red over the corner pocket. Paul, I'm going to miss. You can understand him being a bit tentative with this shot. Can't afford to give up too many points, close, third chance to assess the angles, he puts the black in, seven points away, better. This was his one of the closest attempts. This was such a heartbreaking moment for him as he came so close to the red but still couldn't hit it. This looks pretty close to the black, it does, it does. This would be a sad way for such a brilliant match to end. He went all the way to needing a snooker. Black's in this time. Go on, hit the red. Wow. What a way. Okay, he's not lost yet, but that's just horrible. That's all I can say. Absolutely stunned. This was one of the heartbreaking decider of a Crucible history. Next, Hossein Vafayi puts Jimmy White in a difficult spot. Everybody started thinking that, this way, it was almost impossible to hit the red. National Theatre there, wasn't it? That's what they call the pink, the pink. I miss. Same but faithful Jimmy has already given away the 32 points. Same but faith Escapes from this, but he literally gave away a 36-point lead to Hossein. Next, Stephen Maguire puts Ronnie O'Sullivan in a really tough spot. Nothing Stephen Maguire can do except try and play a good safety shot. And this is a bit risky, but probably will pay some dividends. Great shot. As we see so many times with this miss rule now, you need to hit the red soon because you can give lots of points away. Well, that's about as far out as Ronnie O'Sullivan probably has ever been off the side cushion, but even this is risky, John. Just wondering if he plays at a bit more pace, whether he can get to that red near the right-hand side cushion. Well, he's going to hit the reds this time. Oh, this looks magnificent. Oh, he's just rolling off. Oh, and a miss. Stephen Maguire, four. That's about as good as you could get, I think. Oh, is he not shy of pace? Oh, how cruel is it? Oh, and a miss. Stephen Maguire, four. Does the red pot in the middle pocket? No, so it's back again. Ronnie was so unlucky to miss the reds by such a narrow margin, despite his many attempts. He's gonna hit them this time, surely. No, he's come off that. Wow, and a miss. That's brilliant. That's superb. Following in the list, Mark Williams puts C in a horrible snooker. So I'm playing the snooker. And that's a very good snooker. He could win the frame from this. The commentators predicted Mark can win frame because of this snooker. That's diabolical. He's got to come in to this red off the black cushion. He's not far away. He's not far away. What a shot. He's going to be in big trouble again, mine, but what an escape. Beautiful shot. Coming around the three, four cushions. Do it again. He could have done with that red not going close to the cushion. Next, Neil Robertson faces a nightmarish snooker against Nigel Bond. Yes, almost a little trick shot presentation, there he wanted the... Practically always a miss, even if a player tries the same thing again, even if a player... Neil is gambling on his luck, playing with the jaws of a pocket and sending the cue ball to the other jaws of a pocket. ...meta sozusagen auf Sicherheit wählt. After a lot of thought, he decided to play a trick shot. Oh, now it's going to be really wild. Now it's going to be really wild with the headshot. He hits the red. Still foul because of Weisfeld, but my goodness, the four penalty points. They are really indecisive. It is more important that he finally comes out of this foul and misses Aria. Yes, he already had trick shot character. Finally, Ronnie O'Sullivan's brutal snooker to Stephen Maguire. It's the only problem with playing that type of shot, Ronnie's got him bang in trouble now, there's no escape off one cushion to try and pot the green. It's such a tough snooker that it's almost impossible to hit the red from anywhere, except by using the pocket. See if he could see enough of it, but to judge a shot like the one I've put up there is so difficult, you know, from the angle he's sitting at, so he really is in trouble here. Stephen Maguire judged this in his second attempt. Could be in the pocket this time, is it? A little bit harder, and he's got it, you know. Well played. What a shot. Always been the case, really, with this crowd at Wembley. If you produce the goods or play a good shot, you'll get the response from them, and they really responded to that escape there.
