snooker world championships?

Anyone found a Web feed of the snooker world championships? Especially
Hendry-O'Sullivan in the semifinals?

O'Sullivan's maximum 147 on Monday 28 April :

They stopped, read blocked, web feeds to the USA and maybe everywhere
outside of the UK a couple of years ago. Why I have no clue. When they
stopped me from watching I started just reading updates on BBC sports or
the Championship website, don't remember which. This year I actually
forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Update Hendry's quote after losing to O'Sullivan today.

The 39-year-old was seen to congratulate O'Sullivan at length at the end
of the match.
"I just told him he played brilliantly," he added.
"He's the best player in the world by a country mile.
"At the moment, I can perform like that in a club but not in a match.
Ronnie hits the ball in match like someone hits a ball in practice.
"Today I couldn't remember him missing a shot or getting out of position.
"I am gutted about losing but sometimes you have to hold your hand up and
say the guy was too good."

It's the whole world, AFAIK. I get the following: "Cannot play media.
Sorry, this media is not available in your territory."

I understand they're subsidized by UK taxpayers, so maybe limiting
high-bandwidth downloads makes sense, but they should be able to get the
costs back through selling advertising...

...although it looks like they do not have any advertising on their web
site at all. Seems a foolish way to keep people's taxes higher than
necessary.

I've looked for Ronnie's most recent 147, a couple of days ago, but
can't find it (yet).

Try it here. If wrong video is loaded look for the appropriate link
below the video. It's in german, but you'll find it.

That works, at least it loads the wrong video, but as you suggest the
correct one is down below.
