No. 1 seed Judd Trump followed Ronnie O’Sullivan out of the World Snooker Championship. Earlier in the day, John Higgins came from behind to send the Rocket packing on a dramatic final leg decider.
Having trailed the seven-time World Champion by five frames at one point, Higgins put together a run of six frames in a row, before going on to edge him in a tense final frame.
