Shoot Out snooker LIVE – Shaun Murphy in afternoon action, Mark Williams and Reanne Evans to follow

The most fast paced and frantic event on the snooker calendar continues with plenty more drama expected in today’s action.

The Shoot Out sees every match lasting a maximum of 10 minutes, with a shot clock of 15 seconds for the first five minutes and just 10 seconds for the last five.

The Northern Irishman kicked off the evening session on day one against Woollaston and had to come from behind to advance.

“It’s just chaos every year, no matter how many times you keep coming back here it just doesn’t get any easier,” Allen said.

“You feel like you’ve lost, you feel like you’ve won, and you just never know where you stand.”

The Northern Irishman added: “That’s part and parcel of the competition. It is chaotic, it is manic, it does weird things with your brain, but that’s why we all keep coming back.

“It’s a complete lottery but it is a lot of fun and you have to treat it for what it is.”
