And not only did the Northern Irish ace cruise to the crown, but he left Wales with an extra £50,000 for winning the tournament.

Allen can breathe a huge sigh of relief as he won’t have to deal with snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan or World No 1 Judd Trump – it has been confirmed that both will not be involved once again.

However, the likes of Jimmy White, Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby will all have their eye on the crown along with the cash reward that comes with it.
