Now that the TV table is clear, we can expect John Higgins and Barry Hawkins out any minute.
The other afternoon game between Ma Hailong and Chris Wakelin is also underway.

Just as I type that he is OUT – he attempts a long black and once it doesn’t go in he walks over to Oliver Lines and shakes his hand.
That will be a blow for the Belfast faithful who would have wanted (and probably expected) their man to make a deeper run than the last 32.
Mark Allen 3-4 Oliver LinesMa Hailong 0-0 Chris Wakelin
Mark Allen is not having a good time in this seventh frame and is now on the brink of crashing out.
He is currently 57 behind with just 51 left on the table – he needs to try and play himself in and draw a couple of fouls out of Lines.
It’s been a really scrappy frame from him in truth, with lots of missed shots.
Mark Allen 3-3 Oliver Lines
It’s the end of Jimmy White’s campaign, with Martin O’Donnell building a decent break of 55 to steal a fourth frame from the Whirlwind.
On the other table, Oliver Lines Martin Allen are locked in a very tight battle – Lines was building a decent break but couldn’t separate the reds and now they are locked in a safety battle.
