The final day of Indian Open qualifying takes place inside the not so Indian venue of the Guild Hall in Preston on Wednesday in what is another bumper day of snooker action with a number of players looking to book their spots in the main event next month.
There are some big names on show for the crowds on Wednesday with the likes of Kyren Wilson, John Higgins, Stephen Maguire and Mark King looking to book their plane ticket to India next month.
10am Session
Two matches are streamed in this session which are the ones between Mark King and Nigel Bond as well as Dave Gilbert and Allan Taylor. The other matches sees Jamie Jones taking on Alexander Ursenbacher, Fergal O’Brien against Craig Steadman, Yan Bingtao will meet Rhys Clark, Kurt Maflin plays James Wattana, Zhou Yuelong meets Kurt Dunham and Chris Wakelin faces Wang Yuchen.

Mark Allen is the big name in action in this session and he is on the streamed table as a result. He takes on Thor Chuan Leong. Michael Georgiou is another in action when he takes on Xu Si.

Betting
There is just the one I like on Wednesday which comes in the evening session where I expect Oliver Lines to be too good for Ian Preece. Lines is hitting the point in his career where he needs to go deep in a tournament again to justify the early promise and these sort of events are the perfect ones to do it in with the majority of the really top names giving it a swerve.
Lines has begun the season well enough and with the quality of practice partners he has at his disposal he should be in good enough order to come through here with a bit to spare.
Tips
Back O.Lines (-1.5 frames) to beat I.Preece for a 4/10 stake at 2.20 with Coral
