Doherty dumped out

Ken Doherty’s bid to win the inaugural Six Reds World Championship, in association with 888sport.com, ended in a 5-4 defeat to Adam Duffy at the INEC in Killarney today.  Doherty fought back from 3-1 down to lead 4-3 but lost the last two frames as his campaign came to a halt in the last 32.  The 1997 15 red world champion was among the organisers for the first World Championship played under the shorter format.

Higgins through despite second defeat

John Higgins suffered a second defeat in as many days but still went through to the knockout stage of the Six Reds World Championship, in association with 888sport.com, at the INEC in Killarney tonight.    

Higgins was beaten 4-3 on the black by Indian Adiyta Mehta 24 hours after losing in a decider to women’s world champion Reanne Evans. But the reigning 15 red world champion still finished third in his group and has therefore qualified.

Hendry through to knockout stage

 

Stephen Hendry rubberstamped his qualification for the knockout phase of the Six Reds World Championship, in association with 888sport.com, with a third successive victory in Killarney today.

 

Hendry, who won the 15 red world title a record seven times at the Crucible in Sheffield, beat Irishman Patrick Lally 4-0 to guarantee himself a place in the last 64.

 

And the snooker legend gave the thumbs up to the new event, which showcases a shorter, faster version of the game.

 

“It’s a bit of fun, although the competition is serious once you get out there,” Hendry said.

 

“I’ve known the tournament director, Con O’Sullivan, for a long time and am friends with Ken Doherty so I was very happy to come out here and take part.

 

“It all takes me back to the start of my career at Pontin’s when you’d wait in the tournament office for your name to be called out and a table number.

 

“It’s a good event for the public because they don’t usually see top players in this environment, up so close.”

 

Hendry had beaten Shea Brereton 4-0 on Tuesday but had to fight back from 3-1 down to edge Indian Lucky Vatnani 4-3 in his second match.

 

And he admitted the six red version of the game would keep the game’s top stars on their toes.

 

“It’s certainly cut throat and there’s not room for many mistakes,” Hendry said.

 

“Purists who want to see big breaks aren’t going to get that because the highest possible break is only 75 but if you had a six red event with all top players it would be intense.”

 

John Higgins bounced back from his shock defeat to women’s world champion Reanne Evans to book his place in the knockout phase.

 

Higgins, who lost 4-3 to Evans on Tuesday night, beat Irishman Aaron Doran 4-1 to record his second win in the group.

 

Doran had a chance to lead 2-1 but lost the third frame on the pink and Higgins dominated the rest of the match.

 

Veteran Alex Higgins won his first match of the competition when he beat Jim Stewart 4-0.

 

Higgins, 60, had failed to win a frame on the opening day but put together a better performance to give himself a chance of going through to the knockout stage.

 

Doherty won his third successive match, beating Leonard Shanahan 4-0
