Shaun Murphy beaten by Dominic Dale at Snooker Shoot Out after 147 magic, Stan Moody wins but Shaun Liu, 13, exits

Murphy made one of the greatest maximums of all time in his win over Bulcsu Revesz on Thursday.

But he couldn’t find the same magic as he opened play on Friday against Dominic Dale.

Murphy looked in a good position to win the single-frame match at 44-9 ahead and with just over three minutes remaining.

However, after running out of position his safety shot left Dale with a long red and he potted it into the corner.

Dale moved 46-44 ahead before playing safe on the final red.

Murphy couldn’t score further and Dale booked his place in the next round.

Dale said: “Shaun was cuing so beautiful but the table is so fast he ran out of position a few times and fortunately for me he missed.

“I had that one half chance and I don’t know how it went in but it did.”

The second match of the day saw 13-year-old Shaun Liu beaten by Dean Young.

Liu, who became the youngest-ever winner of a televised snooker match this week, led 20-0 before fouling.

Young took his chance and won the frame 41-28.

“I played very well, a lot better than yesterday,” said Moody.

“I wasn’t as nervous and it showed today and I enjoyed it. I thought I played a very good frame and hopefully it’s the same for the next one.”

Meanwhile, Si Jiahui won 72-9 against Jordan Brown and Ali Carter edged out Alfie Burden 16-6.

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh beat Matthew Stevens 78-0 to reach the next round.
