Stuart Bingham took the title there defeating Ryan Day in the final and for those that picked Bingham there was a massive points haul that has seen some big movers at the top of the overall standings.
Matt Butler still leads the way at the top but his 74 point lead has been cut to just 31 by defending champion Kellie Barker, after she selected Bingham for Gibraltar and moved back ahead of Ryan Duckett, who remains 73 points behind Butler. Duckett is now 73 points clear of fourth place which is now LTD Syndicate, after another successful Bingham picker climbs up four places.
Pete Tscherewik is the big mover this week though after his pick on Bingham for Gibraltar alongside quarter-finalist David Gilbert saw him move up 12 places from 19th to 7th. It's all very tight though at the moment with fifth placed ex-snooker player Munraj Pal just 26 points clear of 13th place and with a lot of points to play for in the final two events there could be plenty of late movers yet.
Here is how the standings look after the Gibraltar Open:
Matt Butler 1082
Kellie Barker 1051
Ryan Duckett 1009
LTD Syndicate 936
Munraj Pal 908
Rob Francis 906

So as you can see there's plenty at stake yet and next up on the calendar is the China Open which starts in the early hours of Monday April 1.
For a point of clarification, the tournament features eight heldover last 128 games featuring the likes of Mark Selby, Mark Williams, Mark Allen and Ding Junhui. These matches DO NOT count to the final standings so do not fall into the trap of picking one of these players thinking that there is an extra match to earn points in.
Another thing to remind all players of is the rule that you can only pick any individual player three times over the course of the season. So with just China and the World Championships to go, here are all of the players that each Fantasy Snooker participant has already selected on three occasions this season - and cannot select again:
Matt Butler: Neil Robertson, Stuart Bingham, Judd Trump, Ding
Junhui, Barry Hawkins, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Ryan Day.

Wilson.

All the best to each of the participants ahead of the penultimate set of Fantasy Snooker picks.
