A brief update tonight due to time constraints and ongoing matches from day two of the professional stages of the first PTC event of this season. Major headlines from today include defeats for Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Shaun Murphy against Kyren Wilson, Li Yan and Nick Jennings respectively, while Steve Davis also lost out to old foe James Wattana early on.

For the full results and last 16 draw, please click here.

Meanwhile although I said that I wouldn’t do this until Thursday, I have found time to update my projected seedings list which you can see here. Please note however that as explained yesterday, there are issues still to be clarified so the list is for guideline purposes only at this stage. Don’t shout at me if anything changes!

It’s going to be a late one in Sheffield. The third round of this first PTC event of 2011/12 began at 9am this morning and at the time of writing (11pm), the action continues. Click below for selected highlights from the day’s action.

Note that due to time constraints (and the lateness of the results), my projected seedings page will be updated at the conclusion of the event.
