Zhao Xintong breaks table in Ronnie O’Sullivan clash as Crucible chaos unfolds
Zhao Xintong inadvertently broke the pocket during his World Snooker Championship clash with Ronnie O’Sullivan. During the thrilling first session of their semi-final, the netting of the pocket could no longer withhold the pressure placed on them by the balls Zhao had potted.
The Chinese star reached a break of 59 in the eighth frame, and decided to pot the black. His shot lined up perfectly with the bottom right pocket. However, he had already potted several reds into the same corner of the table. Zhao took aim and safely rolled the black into the pocket, sealing a score of 66.
