The biggest tournament in snooker will reach its conclusion today after Ronnie O’Sullivan took the lead yesterday over Judd Trump, with the score currently set at 12-5.
If O'Sullivan wins, he will take home a record-equalling seventh title in the modern era, while also becoming the oldest world champion.
However, the final has not been without some fireworks, as Sunday saw O'Sullivan accuse the referee of "looking for trouble" after he received a formal warning for a gesture.
The two English players, Trump and O'Sullivan will continue to face off today to finally determine the victor, after they triumphed over Welshman Mark Williams and Scotland’s John Higgins respectively in the semi-finals.
