Mark Allen missed a simple black to book his place in his first World Snooker Championship final before falling 17-16 to Wu Yize on Saturday night in one of the most dramatic last-four finishes in Crucible history.
The 40-year-old Antrim man had the match at his mercy when he got on top of an error-strewn 32nd frame and required just the black off its spot to wrap up a 17-15 win.
