What a final which we saw Ding Junhui lead by 6-2 over Mark Allen at the close of this afternoons match.

This evening means the pressure was on Allen as it was the best of 19 frames he needed 4 frames just to draw level with JunHui in this evenings match.

Without a doubt we saw a phenomenal performance from Allen who started this evening needing to secure 6 frames to win the Tournament and he didn’t disappoint only giving away one frame to JunHui who has also shown outstanding skill during the todays match. Allen won the match 10-7 over JunHui.

This now means that Mark Allen is the winner of the First Triple Crown event of the 2022–23 snooker season and walks away with a cheque for £250,000.
