That's every event.
Well, I do like my Starbucks. This I've never had, it's pork and cheese bagel.
And I tell you what, it's bleeding tremendous.
Day 5. Final 16 players. The match that's about to start on TV is a sick match.
Ignacio against Yoan Chua, Battle of the Filipinos.
Both play really fast. What a match this is going to be.
Jason Shaw is also playing over there. Not sure who's playing there, but stay tuned.
In the world, they have been defeated.
Ladies and gentlemen, one, two, three, Vietnam. One, two, three, Vietnam.
One, two, three, Vietnam.
Two, two, three, Vietnam.
We will be online in about...
They were screaming, they were shouting. They love their 9 ball in Vietnam.
We are now down to our final 16. Shall we go and get ourselves some quarter finals?
Yeah, let's do it. I'll take it, I'm driving, Abi.
Opening ceremony of the Manchester United Open World Championship 2024.
Please stand up to salute the flag of Vietnam.
Nice warm-up tournament across the country there for the pair.
You could actually be in the final.

You don't get to use it very often, do you? Because of the small dimensions of the table.
Yeah, I'll definitely agree with that.
What a match. Chua in the end got the job done. He books his place into the quarter finals.
Bit of a shaky start, to be fair.
Remember when he lost in the final to Nicky Grouse and he played awful?
I was a bit worried. I thought he was going to continue doing that, but he didn't.
He got the job done. Played strong in the end.
So, he's through. Jason Shaw is looking over there. I think that's 8-5 now to Jason.
So, defending champs going along nicely.
This table over here, Al-Qaeda and Kofi Njie, that is a close battle as well.
See him come to you again?
The crowd have arrived. Big crowds now. So, that's good to see.
Because at the beginning of the day, it felt a little quieter.
But this was just like last year. So, all the crowd was there.
Fran got the job done. Shaw got the job done.
So, two of the lads are still in.
Shane got beat off the qualifier. Just shows you.
Who else have we got?
Kofi Njie come back against Al-Qaeda.
Beardo come back against the other brother, Kofi Njie.
I forgot the rest. Stay tuned. Quarter finals this evening.
It's alright, Fran. Some of us are playing later.
My favourite player.
Oh, your favourite player.
That's fine.
And that was certainly the case in this morning's session.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the quarter finals...
Jason Shaw!
Missed that eight ball. I thought Cole was going to come back.
I thought he was going to root missing that easy eight.
I mean, who would miss an easy eight ball?
Now it's 8-6.
He's got the break. I think he's still going to get the job done.
But it's a really good atmosphere in here.
Absolutely all the crowd are going bananas. Very loud again.
Very much similar to last year.
Also, Johan Tewa is 8-6 up on the other table.
Disastrous loss for Shaw.
What a game. 10-9. Kofi Njie must be sick.
Not spoke to him, but he'll be sick.
OK, that is a wrap. Day 5 is over.
It's about 11pm. It's been a long, old arse day, let me tell you.
Just four players remain.
And I'd have to look back, because this might be the first time...
I'll just guess anyway. I think it's the first time we've probably not had a European or American in the semi-finals.
It's an all-Asian clash.
Four players left, three Filipinos.
Them Filipinos, they can play pool.
