- World champion confronts Northern Irishman
- Allen goes on to win quarter-final clash 6-3
Ronnie O’Sullivan was involved in a bizarre exchange with Mark Allen in the final frame of their Champion of Champions quarter-final match.
Allen went on to beat the reigning world champion 6-3 but O’Sullivan appeared to be irked by the Northern Irishman’s movements during the clash in Milton Keynes. O’Sullivan was warned by the referee, Marcel Eckardt, on numerous occasions as he went over to confront Allen, who sat in his chair throughout. “Can you sit still? You’re standing up and walking in my eyeline. You are. Come on,” O’Sullivan said.
