Amazing session by Zhang Anda against Zak Surety, leading 8-1 with a flurry of breaks: 61, 64, 67, 80, 105, 108, 109, 134 www.wst.tv/match-centre... #snooker #WorldSnookerChampionship

Such a great interview by Antoni Kowalski: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0HF... #snooker #WeLoveSnooker #WorldSnookerChampionship

Kowalski secures a Tour card as one of four from the one-year list. Either way he still would have received a card for reaching the Crucible. Currently the three others are Burden, Leclercq and Zizins. Things can still change though depending on how many matches he, Pullen and Highfield will win.

CORRECTION: Kowalski gets his Tour card via the one-year list. So Taylor is not in via the one-year list. Sorry about that!
