O’Sullivan out of the Snooker World Championships
April 26, 2009
Snooker favourite Ronnie O’Sullivan has been knocked out the World Championships by Mark Allen. Allen produced some unbelievable snooker to turn a 9-7 deficit to an impressive 13-11 victory.
O’Sullivan who was the defending champion was outplayed by Allen, and can have no questions about the victory. Following his victory Allen will face Nigel Bond or Ryan Day in the quarter finals.
O’Sullivan had started the session the stronger playing putting in an impressive break of 105. O’Sullivan even looked like pulling off another 147 narrowly missing the 14th black, the audience were all set in anticipation of what could have been his fourth career maximum
Allen then dominated the next few frames with breaks of 47 and 36 carrying him into an 11-10 lead
Allen then managed to get within one frame of victory, but still gave O’Sullivan a chance. He missed his chance and Allen completed a tidy break of 46 to complete the unexpected victory
