Phil and Nick welcome a very entertaining guest to the podcast in Zak Surety, who has just had his best ever tournament run at the World Open. There's loads of good stuff here from Zak, including his early days on tour, friendship with Stuart Bingham, his recent maximum break and hopes for the future.

There's all the rest of the snooker news too, including a number of players winning two year tour cards. We'll return next week with a review of the Players Championship in Telford and preview of the Tour Championship in Manchester.
