Fantasy Snooker: Points Update and Gibraltar Open players

After a long double points event at the UK Championship it's time for a points update on the Fantasy Snooker league, and of course the announcement of players and pricings for the upcoming Gibraltar Open which is the final event before a well deserved Christmas break (not for me as i'll be doing my Christmas features but the players can enjoy some time off!!!)

As I say it was double points at the UK Championship and that led to some huge scoring, particularly or anyone who picked eventual winner and maximum maker Neil Robertson, while the likes of Mark Selby and John Higgins also proved to be high scoring players:

1^st: Gorkem Kurt: 463 +0.6 million Mavis (36) and N.Robertson (160)
