Ken Doherty has qualified on Monday night beating jo Swail 10-1 in the final qualifiers, in previous qualifiers he had put paid to jimmy white's appearance chances after a 10-3 win

Stephen lee the alleged cheat has also qualified along with Graham Dott of Scotland.

This year it is to be an open draw with only the top 16 seeds being kept apart. Is it Going to be another title for Ronnie o Sullivan or can Steven Hendry the crublible legend add another world title to his list of honours.
A little know fact is that other than Cliff Thorburn and Ken Doherty it has always been a Brittish winner at the event.

I cant see past O sullivan myself if he is on his best form but Ali carter and shaun Murphy also have what it takes.

I am looking forward to it i must say
 
When does it start? Always liked Ken Doherty, so I'm hoping he does well.

Also, is Mark Allen from NI competing in it?

O'Sullivan should have won the Masters tournament there recently, made some very costly decisions against Mark Selby, in which I thought was an excellent final.

I don't really watch Snooker between major tournements, so who is coming into it in good form?

Selby could be worth a flutter. He's improved immensely over the last few years.

Selby is actually playing Doherty in the 1st round.

Higgins is in good form and so is Ali Carter but I would say Higgins is the man to beat. But saying that you can never write off Ronnie O Sullivan. He has a tricky opener agaisnt Liang WenBo

Steve Davis ( top man ) is also doing ok, he wont win it but this is the 5th different decade he has competed at the finals

Here is the full Draw

Full draw:

John Higgins v Barry Hawkins

Mark King v Steve Davis

Neil Robertson v Fergal O'Brien

Marco Fu v Martin Gould

Ali Carter v Jamie Cope

Joe Perry v Michael Holt

Ding Junhui v Stuart Pettman

Shaun Murphy v Gerrard Greene

Stephen Maguire v Stephen Lee

Peter Ebdon v Graeme Dott

Mark Allen v Tom Ford

Ryan Day v Mark Davis

Mark Selby v Ken Doherty

Stephen Hendry v Anda Zhang

Mark Williams v Marcus Campbell

Ronnie O'Sullivan v Liang Wenbo

If that's the draw, then the path looks tough for O'Sullivan, likely opponents being;

Wenbo ---> Williams ---> Selby(/Hendry) ---> Allen(/Maguire/Day)
