Marco Fu advanced into the last 16 of 2017's World Snooker Championship by beating Neil Robertson - the defending champ (?).

It was NOT smooth sailing, by no means.

MF was 4 - 1 behind in Session 1, drew level when the session ended.  In Session 2, he led, but NR drew even.  The video was the deciding frame of Session 3, had MF lost, it will be even again at 12 - 12 & into the final and deciding frame.

MF led but got a "kick" (a snooker term, meaning the cue ball (white ball) behaved oddly due to statics), then choked twice (he was nervous) which almost costed him the chance to move into the last 16.
The frame was nail-bitingly breath-taking.  If you are a snooker player/follower, you must watch this video!

So far, all Chinese players may not reach the final 4.

Only 2 Chinese players are remaining, Marco Fu and Ding Jan-Hui, both are behind and not playing well and their elimination games!

It was a loop-sided match between Marco Fu and Mark Selby.  MF was eliminated with a score of 13 - 2 after Session 2.  There was no need to go into Session 3.  

The only remaining Chinese player is Ding who led O'Sullivan 10 - 6 after Session 2 yesterday!

Ding beat O'Sullivan and advanced.

This was a landmark achievement!

O'Sullivan has been and still is the world's best snooker player.  When Ding started his snooker career slightly over 10 years ago, he met O'Sullivan in the Final and was narrowly defeated.  Ding was 20 y.o. then, he cried on O'Sullivan's shoulder and OS comforted him.

After Ding won this time, he cried (not quite, his eyes watered) on OS's shoulder again, to express his joy, emotion and respect for the best player in the world!

Ding advanced to play Mark Selby who beat Marco Fu the previous day.

After Session 1 today, Ding led 5 -3!

It is too early to say who might win, but the winner will be in the semi-final, if not the final.

FYI, the World Snooker Championship is like World Cup in soccer.  This is the championship that all snooker players want to win at least once in their respective careers.

After Frame 20, Ding was still 2 frames behind and he was running out of frames.  

Ding would need four of the remaining 5 frames.  So, most likely Ding will be eliminated.

Selby played well, Ding choked once at a critical moment and missed the chance to level the score!

My apologies, I thought they were playing for 25 Frames to decide the outcome, in fact, 33 Frames.

Anyway, Ding put up a good fight and at the end of Session 3, the score was 12 -12 dead even.

The play will continue tomorrow!
