The Gibraltar Open is taking place this weekend, despite fears over coronavirus seeing a number of players pulling out and the size of the audience limited to just 100 people in each session.
Judd Trump remains the headline act in the event, with the likes of Mark Selby, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Kyren Wilson and defending champion Stuart Bingham making up, what is still, an impressive line-up.
£50,000 is on the line for the winner, with just one tournament (next week’s Tour Championship in Llandudno) left before the World Championships.
Withdrawals: Neil Robertson, Mark Allen, David Gilbert, Stephen Maguire, Ali Carter, Graeme Dott, Noppon Saengkham, Mike Dunn, Fraser Patrick and Jimmy White.
When is the Gibraltar Open?
The main stages of the tournament run from 13-15 March at the Europa Point Sports Complex, with the amateur qualifiers ahead of that from 11-12.
What TV channel is the Gibraltar Open being down on and is there a live stream?
Eurosport will be showing all the action from Gibraltar with subscribers able to stream the games on Eurosport Player.
