										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Two of the pre-tournament favourites fell at the first hurdle on day two of the 2025 JenningsBet World Seniors Snooker Championship as Jimmy White and Ken Doherty lost to Alfie Burden and Charl Jonck in the opening round.</strong></p>
<p>The quarter-final line-up in Sheffield was completed by the close of play on Thursday as Burden and Jonck were joined by Tony Drago, who dramatically defeated Gerard Greene in a deciding frame, and Hassan Kerde &#8211; who whitewashed Tony Knowles on his Crucible debut.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20881" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="669" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8781.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p>A blockbuster afternoon session saw four-times World Seniors Snooker champion White and 1997 world champion Doherty in action in front of a buzzing Yorkshire crowd at snooker&#8217;s most iconic venue.</p>
<p>An all-London affair saw &#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217; taking on Burden in a repeat of the 2023 World Seniors Snooker Championship final and it was the &#8216;Golden Ticket&#8217; play-off qualifier who made a strong start to move into a 2-0 lead.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20880" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1005" height="670" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8765.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1005px) 100vw, 1005px" /></p>
<p>White hit back with an 82 break to reduce the deficit but never truly got going in his pursuit of a record-extending fifth title and it was opponent who comfortably got over the line a 4-1 victor with a concluding break of 92.</p>
<p>Post-match Burden reflected: &#8220;I first practiced with Jimmy when I was a 15-year-old boy. We&#8217;ve had this amazing friendship for many years and I don&#8217;t get any pleasure in beating Jimmy but I was focused on winning and I had to blank out who I was playing. I know he wants me to win it now.&#8221;</p>

<p>In one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Championship, South African qualifier Jonck overcame former world champion Doherty 4-2 on his Crucible debut.</p>
<p>The opening exchanges were scrappy but Doherty was able to move into a 2-0 lead before Jonck hit back and a break of 64 restored parity at 2-2.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20883" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1005" height="670" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8958.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1005px) 100vw, 1005px" /></p>
<p>From there, the reigning African Seniors champion visibly grew in confidence and ran out a 4-2 winner with a further contribution of 63 in the penultimate frame.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was surreal. It was the lifelong ambition becoming a reality&#8221; Jonck said, adding: &#8220;The crowd were electric and it was the best feeling ever. Everybody loves an underdog story, don&#8217;t they?&#8221;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20884" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="669" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_8969.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p>After defeating White in the opening match of the afternoon, Burden will next face Malta&#8217;s Drago in the quarter-finals after &#8216;The Tornado&#8217; came through a dramatic encounter with Greene in the evening session.</p>
<p>The Maltese cueist took the opener with a break of 75 and looked set to double his advantage before Greene managed to get two snooker&#8217;s and steal the second with a calm colour clearance.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20886" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="669" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9120.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p>The next four frames were shared, resulting in the tournament&#8217;s first decider, and it was Drago who fired in a break of 68 to reach the last eight.</p>
<p>Drago said: &#8220;At one time it looked like I might win easily and have an early night but then I collapsed in nearly every frame. I couldn&#8217;t have done this before, missing so many balls and then coming back from 3-2 down to win, so I think in my old age I am doing something right that I didn&#8217;t do before!&#8221;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20887" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="669" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9163.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p>The quarter-final line-up was completed by Australia&#8217;s Kerde as he impressed on debut to whitewash former world number two Knowles.</p>
<p>The Asia-Pacific Seniors champion will now face Jonck on Friday in a international clash after breaks of 53, 62, 66 and 59 gave Kerde victory in one of the finest performances of the opening round.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20888" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9186-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="666" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9186-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9186-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9186-768x509.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/NZ9_9186.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m over the moon. I&#8217;ve watched the Crucible for the last 20 years and to just come and watch a match would have been awesome. This is everything, I consider myself one of the top amateur players in Australia and this is a world stage so to go all the way would mean everything for my life.&#8221; Kerde said following his victory.</p>
<p><strong>The quarter-finals take place tomorrow from 12:00 BST  live on Channel 5 and 5Action.</strong></p>

<p>Children will get a chance to bring a grandparent to the Crucible Theatre as well as taking part in a snooker themed art competition which will be judged by 1997 world champion Doherty. The artwork will be displayed in the venue during the whole event which runs from the 7-11 May and follows on from the World Snooker Championship.</p>
<p>Doherty said: ”It was fantastic to meet the pupils today to tell them what Sheffield and the Crucible Theatre means to me and to also answer their questions about what it was like to win the World Championship in 1997. The plan for them to treat their grandparents to a day at the World Seniors Championship is brilliant and its great to see WSS engaging with so many local schools around the art competition.&#8221;</p>

<p>Jason Francis, WSS Chairman, said “The Youth of Sheffield Day is one of a number of projects we are running this year based around showcasing what is great about the steel city and the home of snooker. Semi-final Saturday will see Tudor Square full of local children and hopefully feeling the atmosphere of snooker at the Crucible could be the spark to encourage them to try the game themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sinead Gaffney, Headteacher at Greystones Primary School said: &#8220;Everyone at Greystones loved meeting Ken today. It was a great opportunity for our children to learn more about the links between Sheffield and snooker, thanks to the Crucible&#8217;s role of hosting the World Championship.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone wants to give snooker a go now and Ken&#8217;s message of working hard and aiming high is a brilliant model for every child, wherever their talents lie! Whether the children&#8217;s families have longstanding roots in the city, or if they are relative newcomers like myself, here&#8217;s another reason to feel proud of our wonderful city of Sheffield&#8221; she added.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><strong>Ken Doherty defeated Tony Drago in a dramatic blue ball shootout to win the Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 title at Epsom Downs Racecourse.</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The victory means Doherty becomes the first player to win multiple titles under the World Seniors Snooker 900 format following his emotional success at Goffs earlier in the year.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20702" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1004" height="669" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty5.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Six players embarked on Epsom for the fourth edition of the unique and exciting event with Alfie Burden, Nigel Bond and Rory McLeod each making their debuts while Doherty, Drago and four-time World Seniors champion Jimmy White returned.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a repeat of the final at Goffs last March, Doherty met White in the opening match of Group B. &#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217; was looking to exact revenge after &#8216;The Darling of Dublin&#8217; had defeated him in that title match and a 55 clearance saw White make the perfect start to the afternoon.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20704" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White1-7.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">A win for 1995 world finalist and former British Open champion Bond over White on the final black then set up a dramatic conclusion to the group.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Doherty was able to advance to the semi-finals by overcoming the debutant and scoring a high break of two more points, while White topped the group courtesy of his half-century under the tie-break rules.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20697" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Burden1-1.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">In Group A, Burden made a confident start to life under the World Seniors Snooker 900 format as he comfortably overcame both McLeod and Drago to reach the knockout stages as group winner. &#8216;The Tornado&#8217; from Malta then beat McLeod to complete the semi-final line-up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both group winners were toppled at the semi-final stage as Burden was defeated by Doherty, while White was denied a fourth consecutive final by Drago.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20705" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteDrago.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Drago, who was competing in his maiden final under the format, made the perfect start to the best-of-three contest by firing in the day&#8217;s high break of 93 in the opener.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Maltese cueist was in first in the second frame but broke down on 31, allowing Doherty to force a decider with a break of 56.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20703" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/DohertyDrago.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Another break of 56 saw Doherty take the initiative in the decider but Drago impressively held his nerve to clear the table and tie the frame &#8211; meaning a blue ball shootout would decide who took home the trophy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The two players each potted the blue ball on their first attempt and it was Drago who was first to blink and he put his second effort wide of the target.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After taking a moment to compose himself, Doherty confidently fired home the title-winning blue ball to secure his second World Seniors Snooker 900 crown.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20700" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1002" height="668" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty3-1.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">After the final, Doherty said: &#8220;I&#8217;m absolutely delighted! I wasn&#8217;t expecting it &#8211; I flew in this morning on a 7am flight. I love playing in the 900, I love the concept of it and it was a great final. To play Tony in the final was just amazing and to go down to the blue ball shoot out was was incredible.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;I was just thinking when he potted the first blue in the shoot out &#8211; &#8216;just try and cue it, don&#8217;t twitch and put your elbow in the front row!&#8217; Then, when he missed the second one, I was just thinking the same and it just went right in the middle and I said &#8216;yeah&#8217; before it even went in. It was a lovely moment.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20698" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-3.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking ahead to the 2025 World Seniors Snooker Championship, which has eluded Doherty so far in his illustrious career, he reflected: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been beaten in a couple of finals &#8211; last year against Igor (Figueiredo) and of course against Jimmy White when I was 4-0 up and I collapsed like a cheap tent but we won&#8217;t mention that! I&#8217;d love to win it but, if I don&#8217;t, it doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; I&#8217;ve been very lucky and blessed in my life by playing the game that I love. I&#8217;m still playing it and I still love it!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The fourth Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 tournament will take place on Monday 30 December with six of the sport’s biggest stars embarking on the Epsom Racecourse for an afternoon of fast-paced, exciting action on the baize.</strong></p>
<p>World Seniors Snooker returns to the venue where seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry won the inaugural edition of the format by defeating long-time rival Jimmy White in the final twelve months ago.</p>
<p>‘The Whirlwind’ returns to Epsom next Monday aiming to avenge three consecutive title match losses under the ‘900’ format and he is joined by Goffs champion Ken Doherty, ‘The Tornado’ Tony Drago and debutants Nigel Bond, Alfie Burden and Rory McLeod.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20680" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-212x300.jpg" alt="" width="1002" height="1418" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-212x300.jpg 212w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-724x1024.jpg 724w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-768x1086.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Epsom900-scaled.jpg 1448w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px" /></p>
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">All matches throughout the tournament are just a single frame and each of these frames has a time limit of just 15 minutes. Should the frame not be complete at the end of the allocated 15 minutes, whoever is leading the frame claims the win.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Played with a spotted cueball, cueists have just 20 seconds per shot and there are no extensions or time-outs (unless at the discretion of the referee).</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">For every shot played, either a ball must be potted, or a cushion must be struck with the cueball or an object ball.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">All fouls result in cueball in hand for the opponent.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">At the end of the 15 minutes, should the players be tied on points, a blue-ball shoot-out will be used to determine the winner.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p>The six players will compete in two round-robin groups of three players, with the top two advancing to the semi-finals. The winner of Group A will face the runner-up in Group B, and the winner of Group B will face the runner-up in Group A in the last four.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20351" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago2.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<h2>Group A</h2>
<p>Malta’s Tony Drago is the only player in Group A with prior experience under the ‘900’ format having made his debut in the previous event in Hull, where he lost to eventual champion Igor Figueiredo in the semi-finals.</p>
<p>Alfie Burden, the 2023 World Seniors Championship runner-up and current World Snooker Tour (WST) professional, makes his ‘900’ debut in Epsom and will kick off the action on Monday afternoon when he meets Drago in the opening match.</p>
<p>The three-player group, from which the top two will advance to the semi-finals, is completed by fellow debutant Rory McLeod – a former professional of over 30 years who famously defeated Judd Trump at the Crucible Theatre during the 2017 World Championship.</p>

<h2>Jimmy White</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20634" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/White11.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>The record-breaking four-time World Seniors Snooker champion <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/jimmy-white/">Jimmy White</a> will head to Epsom aiming to secure his maiden Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 title.</p>
<p>&#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217; has reached the final of all three previous events under the format, including in Epsom twelve months ago, but is yet to secure the title having suffered defeats to <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/stephen-hendry/">Stephen Hendry</a>, <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/ken-doherty/">Ken Doherty</a> and <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/igor-figueiredo/">Igor Figueiredo</a> respectively.</p>
<p>The ten-time ranking event winner and former Masters champion will be aiming to go one better and take home the title next month.</p>
<h2>Ken Doherty</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20543" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>Former world champion <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/ken-doherty/">Ken Doherty</a> maintains his ever-present record at Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 events and will be looking for a repeat of his emotional victory on home soil back in March.</p>
<p>The 1997 Crucible winner, who still competes on the World Snooker Tour, defeated <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/tony-knowles/">Tony Knowles</a>, Fergal O&#8217;Brien and <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/jimmy-white/">Jimmy White</a> to earn a famous victory at the iconic Goffs venue in Ireland.</p>
<p>&#8216;The Darling of Dublin&#8217; will head to Epsom hoping to round off the year in style with another success.</p>
<h2>Tony Drago</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20350" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Drago1.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>

<p>The man known as &#8216;The Tornado&#8217; made his debut under the format in Hull back in September and will be looking to improve on a run to the semi-finals, where he lost to eventual champion <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/igor-figueiredo/">Igor Figueiredo</a>.</p>
<p>A former ranking event semi-finalist with a professional career spanning over thirty years, Drago has reached the semi-finals of the World Seniors Championship at the Crucible Theatre in 2023 and 2024.</p>
<h2>Nigel Bond</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/nigel-bond/">Nigel Bond</a> is one of three players who will make their Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 debut in Epsom next month.</p>
<p>The 58-year-old from England maintained an unbroken spell as a professional between 1989 and 2022 and won a ranking event title in 1996 when he defeated John Higgins 9-8 in the British Open final.</p>
<p>Bond reached the World Championship final in 1995, losing to <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/stephen-hendry/">Stephen Hendry</a> at the Crucible Theatre, and also made it to back-to-back World Seniors Championship finals &#8211; defeating Tony Chappel in the final in 2012.</p>
<h2>Alfie Burden</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20575" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/52907576996_938739c8c3_k.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>Another Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 debutant, <a href="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/player/alfie-burden/">Alfie Burden</a> will compete for the title in Epsom in December.</p>

<p>A four-time ranking event quarter-finalist, the London cueist has competed on the World Snooker Tour for over 20 years and regained his professional status in 2021 via Q School.</p>
<h2>Rory McLeod</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-13455" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/MCLeod.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Igor Figueiredo dramatically defeated Jimmy White on the final black to win his first Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 title at the Connexin Live in Hull.</strong></p>
<p>The success saw the Brazilian secure back-to-back televised titles on the World Seniors Snooker tour as he followed up on his victory in the World Seniors Championship at the iconic Crucible Theatre back in May.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20548" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1002" height="668" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Trophy1.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px" /></p>
<p>The unique event, which sees the competitors face off in single-frame shootouts of no more than 15 minutes (or 900 seconds) and was shown live on Channel 5, began with a repeat of the Crucible final from earlier this year as 900 format debutant Figueiredo took on Ken Doherty.</p>
<p>The man known as &#8216;The Darling of Dublin&#8217; had arrived in England at around 5am that morning, following time as a player and pundit at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters in Riyadh, but showed no signs of fatigue as a break of 67 saw him gain revenge on his Brazilian opponent.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20543" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Doherty1-2.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>Doherty would follow this up with a further group stage victory over Barry Pinches, another debutant to the format, to secure his place in the semi-finals.</p>
<p>Malta&#8217;s Tony Drago was the first man to join him in the knockout stages as he secured a duo of impressive victories over four-time World Seniors champion Jimmy White and seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry.</p>
<p>Back-to-back victories for both Doherty and Drago meant that the final two group stage encounters were effectively knockout matches, with the two winners securing their places in the last four.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20547" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/HendryWhite.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>Breaks of 49 and 46 were enough for Figueiredo to overcome Pinches in the first of these contests, before White and Hendry renewed their famous rivalry in front of the Hull crowd &#8211; with a break of 66 from &#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217; earning him the last semi-final spot.</p>
<p>The action continued to come thick and fast in East Yorkshire as the event entered the knockout stages and it was the two group runner-ups who set up a final meeting as White overcame Doherty in a repeat of the 2020 World Seniors Championship final, before Figueiredo continued his fine form by defeating Drago.</p>
<p>The title match saw the two most recent winners of the World Seniors Championship go head to head in a best-of-three frame contest.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20549" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/WhiteFigueiredo.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>White compiled the highest break of the day to take the opener with a 69 but, fittingly, the event would ultimately be decided by a final frame shootout as Figueiredo hit back with a 66 to restore parity.</p>
<p>&#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217;, who has been defeated in the previous two Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 finals, look set to finally get his hands on the trophy as he was in the balls in the final frame on a break of 40.</p>
<p>Dramatically, however, White broke down allowing the Brazilian to clear up and seal the victory on the final black before letting out an ecstatic roar in celebration.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20546 " src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Figueiredo3.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<p>Post-match, Figueiredo said: &#8220;It&#8217;s a fantastic time for me, my career and for the Americas as well. I think it was a fantastic final, I feel over the moon with that clearance &#8211; I don&#8217;t believe it! I enjoy playing in the World Seniors events and I want to fix my place here and come back for every tournament.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Six of snooker&#8217;s biggest names head to the Connexin Live in Hull on Sunday for the third edition of the Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900.</strong></p>
<p>Contested at the former home of the UK Seniors Championship, the event features a new and exciting format where anything can happen. Each match will last 15 minutes (900 seconds) and has a 20-second shot clock in play at all times, allowing for unmissable action that has proven a hit with fans and players alike.</p>
<p>Among those in action are seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry, who won the inaugural staging in Epsom in December, and 1997 world champion Ken Doherty &#8211; who lifted the Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 title on home soil at the iconic Goffs venue earlier this year.</p>
<p>They are joined by reigning World Seniors champion Igor Figueiredo, four-time World Seniors champion Jimmy &#8216;The Whirlwind&#8217; White, Malta&#8217;s Tony &#8216;The Tornado&#8217; Drago and former ranking event winner Barry Pinches.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20253" src="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1001" height="667" srcset="https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-570x380.jpg 570w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://www.seniorssnooker.com/wp-content/uploads/Final3.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></p>
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">All matches throughout the tournament are just a single frame and each of these frames has a time limit of just 15 minutes. Should the frame not be complete at the end of the allocated 15 minutes, whoever is leading the frame claims the win.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Played with a spotted cueball, cueists have just 20 seconds per shot and there are no extensions or time-outs (unless at the discretion of the referee).</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">For every shot played, either a ball must be potted, or a cushion must be struck with the cueball or an object ball.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">All fouls result in cueball in hand for the opponent.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">At the end of the 15 minutes, should the players be tied on points, a blue-ball shoot-out will be used to determine the winner.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p>The six players will compete in two round-robin groups of three players, with the top two advancing to the semi-finals. The winner of Group A will face the runner-up in Group B, and the winner of Group B will face the runner-up in Group A in the last four.</p>

<h2>Group A</h2>
<p>Sunday&#8217;s action will begin with a rematch of May&#8217;s World Seniors Championship final between Ken Doherty and Igor Figueiredo.</p>
<p>Brazil&#8217;s Figueiredo ran out a 5-2 victor at the Crucible Theatre to lift the prestigious trophy and will be looking to repeat the feat on his Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 debut in Hull.</p>
<p>The two recent World Seniors Championship finalists are joined by former ranking event winner Barry Pinches, who is also making his debut under the fast-paced and exciting format.</p>

<h2>Group B</h2>
<p>Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White will renew their storied rivalry at the Connexin Live in Hull as the two meet in the group stages.</p>
<p>The two contested the first ever Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 final in December, with Hendry coming out on top in Epsom, before White gained revenge at Goffs by eliminating the seven-time world champion at the semi-final stage.</p>
<p>Hendry and White are joined in the group by Malta&#8217;s Tony Drago, who reached the semi-finals of this year&#8217;s World Seniors Championship in Sheffield.</p>
<h2>Schedule</h2>
<p>The action gets underway at 13:00 BST on Sunday, broadcast live on Channel 5.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry and Ken Doherty will be among those in action when the Mr Vegas World Seniors Snooker 900 heads to the Connexin Live in Hull on Sunday 8 September.</strong></p>
