Amidst a tense moment in the World Snooker Championship final, former world champion Ken Doherty entertained the Crucible audience with a playful jab at his co-commentator Dennis Taylor. Kyren Wilson had been leading Jak Jones since the opening session, but Jones had been playing catch up. However, in the 19th frame, an intruder on the table caused Wilson’s shot to be interrupted. This moment prompted Doherty’s cheeky comment about Taylor’s wallet, which drew laughter from the earpieced audience.
Despite the distraction, Jones refocused and won the frame. Afterward, Taylor acknowledged retiring referee Paul Collier, praising his contributions to the sport. Unfortunately for Jones, he missed an opportunity with a straight red shot and was involved in a safety exchange that scattered red balls around the table. Despite this setback, Jones regained control of the frame with a tricky shot and narrowly avoided a mishap when the cue ball nearly fell into a pocket. Nonetheless, he successfully closed the gap to within three frames of Wilson and earned applause from the Crucible audience.
In conclusion, despite some unexpected interruptions during play, both players continued to showcase their skill and determination on the snooker table. The Crucible audience was kept on their toes as they watched every move and waited for each player to make their next move. With only three frames separating them now, it’s anyone’s game as they head into tomorrow’s final session of play.
