Snooker fan ejected from Crucible after distracting Mark Allen during tense showdown

The World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre took an unexpected turn on Sunday when a fan was ejected from the venue for disrupting Mark Allen’s crucial shot against John Higgins. The incident occurred during a tense showdown between the two snooker giants, with Allen holding a narrow lead in the 13th frame.

As Allen lined up a shot with the score at 71-40 in his favor, a loud cry from the crowd caught him off guard, forcing him to pause and identify the source of the disturbance. The Eurosport commentator expressed his dismay at the interruption, while the referee swiftly intervened to remove the unruly spectator from the premises.

Despite the disruption, Allen managed to maintain his composure and went on to secure a 9-7 lead over Higgins. The Northern Irishman’s impressive comeback after a slow start put him in a strong position to clinch victory when the match resumed on Monday evening.

However, Allen’s quest for snooker glory at the Crucible has been marred by his inability to reach the World Championship final, despite his success in other prestigious tournaments. With the iconic venue potentially bidding farewell to the tournament in the near future, players like Allen and Higgins are determined to make the most of their time on the historic stage.

As the drama unfolds at the World Snooker Championship, fans and players alike are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the thrilling matches and the future of the sport’s most iconic venue. Stay tuned for more updates as the action continues to unfold at the Crucible Theatre.
