    Sensational climax. As others have said, it’s a shame there must be a loser. Allen played better than Higgins throughout but just let the door open in the final frame. There’s no embarrassment here- it was an incredible game. I was sat in a czech pub with two czech non-snooker-fans and they were transfixed during the final three frames. Maybe we made two snooker converts tonight!

    Miracle Clearance is right, Mark Allen should be proud of himself because up until that final moment of magic he was exerting tremendous pressure on a Snooker Legend. If Mark Allen continues working hard at his own game and stays on the path he is currently on he is definitely destined to become a future Snooker World Champion himself. 🎯👊💯
