    Raging. Impredicted 17-14 Higgins and didn't even bet on it.
    Wonder what the odds were?

    Have to agree.. Although I haven't watched all his games I've only seen Trump struggle in one session while John has been through some battles and come back from the dead in some frames.. Just stuck over a hundred on Trump at 6/4 purely because I think it's great value , but I'd be more than happy if John can do it again..

    Ding losing earlier cost me £155 stake but also had over £400 staked on Higgins to beat Williams so can't complain..

    Well done John. He won it yesterday when he managed to scramble out last night only 9-7 down when Mark was on fire.

    Hope he goes on to win it. :50:

    trumps been a breath of fresh air in the world championship. but i can't see him beating john higgins. he's so solid in every part of his game. would hate to play him he never gives up. he'll be so determined to win this after the * thats happened.

    hope John wins it not only cos I'm a Higgins fan but would be great for him to win it for his dad but i've said from the start Trump was a dark horse and he has got through some tough matches, Robertson, Dott, Ding aswell as Gould. Higgins also tough draw getting past Lee, McLeod, O'Sullivan and new world number 1 Williams, think Higgins is a slight favourite cos he is used to these long matches where as Trump isn't really will be clost I say Higgins 18-15 Trump

    I'd never heard of this Judd Trump before this year, but if he's in the final of the World Championships, he must be pretty * good.

    Oor John will be too experienced for him though.

    Higgins is going to have to grind this boy down i think,

    His safety game will play a big part in this as Trump will almost be taking anything on,

    Go John bhoy !!!:shamrock:

    I just cant look at Higgins the same anymore.I think he made a stupid mistake but is essentially a good guy...but i cant get over the greed aspect.He has won enough!
    Go Judd!The game needs you.
