THE Northern Ireland Open is here – and some huge names are set to compete in the second Home Nations Series event of the season.
Ronnie O’Sullivan is one that will be missing, again due to medical reasons, having not played since the English Open in early September – Long Zehuang gets a bye into the last 32.

A couple of big scalps have already been taken with Mark Selby losing to Louis Heathcote and David Gilbert lost to Lei Peifan.
