Last updated 24th Oct 2022
Mark Allen reeled off six frames in succession to retain the Northern Ireland Open title on Sunday night.
The 36-year-old looked in trouble as his Chinese opponent Zhou Yuelong led 4-1, aided by an impressive 135 clearance in frame four.
However, Allen strung together frames of 68, 44 and 55 to level the first session.
He came out strongly in the evening, moving 6-4 ahead. Allen extended that to three and a 109-break secured for the Antrim man a seventh ranking title.
