Doherty's hopes fading fast

Ken Doherty's hopes of a world title have faded today as Paul Hunter continues his march towards his first Embassy World Championship final as he won five of the eight frames in the second session to open up an 11-5 frame advantage at The Crucible Theatre.

Hunter is just six more frames away from crossing the finishing line in the best of 33 semi-final after a session of the highest quality produced three centuries and five other 50 plus breaks.
