Related Articles See all Snooker World Championship news Share it Pin It We’re now entering the second round stage of the 2011 World Snooker Championship and we look ahead to some of the highlight matches.Judd Trump v Martin Gould, starts Thursday 7pmTrump was a 40/1 chance at the start of the tournament, although his odds have tumbled after beating reigning champion Neil Robertson in the first round. The boy from Bristol is strong favourite to now reach the quarter finals, although Gould will have other ideas.Indeed, it will be interesting to see how Trump copes with the tag of favourite for this match, not to mention the fact it has been five days since he was last in action. The Pinner Potter could make this a lot closer than the odds suggest.Match OddsJudd Trump - 9/20 sportingbetMartin Gould - 9/4 bet365Graeme Dott v Ali Carter, starts Friday 10amDott seems to love the Crucible, with the Scot having made three World Championship finals in the past seven years, winning in 2006. He played solidly against Mark King in the first round and could be the value bet to book his place in the quarters.Carter was rarely troubled during his 10-3 win over Dave Harold and the Captain reached the final as recently as 2008, with the bookies making him slight favourite to win this one.Match OddsGraeme Dott - 10/11 Paddy PowerAli Carter - Evens William HillRonnie O’Sullivan v Shaun Murphy, starts Saturday 2.30pmQuite simply, the pick of the second round matches and both players were mightily impressive in their first round games. Ronnie produced some excellent snooker to beat Dominic Dale 10-2 and is warm favourite to set up a potential quarter final against John Higgins.However, another former winner stands in his way and Murphy couldn’t have done much better when thrashing Marcus Campbell 10-1 in his first round match.
