This morning the two highest ranking players competing in Essex, Mark Williams and Mark Allen meet, in what promises to be a hugely entertaining match. Bet365 can’t separate the pair, and make both players 5/6 to come out on top.
In the morning’s other match, Jamie Cope takes on Stuart Bingham. Cope has been one of the most impressive players this week, and his fast playing style has endeared him to the crowds. He is 4/7 to win his first match of the day, whilst Bingham can be backed at 5/4.
