NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Judd Trump made an incredible 147 break in the final of the Champion of Champions, but he got no congratulations from opponent Ronnie O’Sullivan.
The superb effort came out of nowhere, with Trump struggling to find his bet form at 6-1 behind against the Rocket.
However, he sprung into life in the eighth frame, knocking in a memorable maximum, much to the delight of the packed crowd in Bolton.
O’Sullivan was not on his feet like the fans, in fact he stayed in his seat as Trump celebrated the maximum break, which is very unusual in the circumstances.
