Ad British OpenSaengkham downs Jones to reach British Open semis, Day beats SiJun17 HOURS AGO Allen 6-1 Saengkham «It was a perfect start today. I played pretty well,» said Allen.

«Fortunately, we don't play snooker on paper and the favourite doesn't always win otherwise it would be a boring game. »The table was beautiful and the crowd was great. That is as good as I've played this week." Allen 5-1 Saengkham (72-44) Allen pots the pivotal blue ball and he is through to the final.

He will face Ryan Day or Robbie Williams in Sunday's final. Allen 5-1 Saengkham (67-44) The Thai player needing one snooker to tie on the blue here. Only three balls left up.

Long shot to keep this match alive. Allen 5-1 Saengkham (67-40) Noppon needs colours for the steal, but he misses the green trying to nudge out the brown. And that will be that surely.

In goes the green for Allen. Noppon needs two snookers. Allen 5-1 Saengkham (64-8) A cutback on a red, but not ideal on the next colour.

64 points clear with 67 left up. Does he stick or twist here? Opts to put the brown safe before getting snooker behind green. Noppon hits reds off two cushions before seeing a plant disappear down middle hole.

What a fluke that is. 64 break from Allen might not win this frame. Allen 5-1 Saengkham (39-0) Allen sizes up the white ball and lets the cue flow.

Not a huge pause in the cue action. A very unique style, but has worked like a dream today. Closing in on the final here.
