Liang Wins In Last Frame Decider
Tuesday 29 April 2008 at 10:55  Liang Wenbo reached the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship with a nail-biting 13-12 victory over Joe Swail.
He became the first Chinese player to reach the Crucible quarter-finals and is now 25/1 with SportingBet to win the tournament.
Liang has led 12-8 at the start of a dramatic final session and Swail staged a remarkable comeback, including a last-ditch snooker on the pink in the 23rd frame, which led to him to bringing the scores level at 12-12.
A miss from Swail on the brown in the final frame let in the young Chinese player and he sealed a quarter-final match with Ronnie O'Sullivan.
After the game, Swail was unhappy with the referee and his replacing of the balls which allowed Liang to get out of a snooker on the yellow at the second time of asking.
"There was absolutely no way he could see the yellow. If that was the case why not play that shot in the first place? I'm absolutely fuming at that," said Swail.
In the other game at the Crucible last night Joe Perry beat Stuart Bingham to book a place in last eight, where he will play Stephen Maguire.
He is now 49/1 with betchronicle to win the tournament.
