His campaign came to a dramatic end last night

Mark Allen's World Snooker Championship campaign came to a dramatic end last night.

The Antrim native lost a final frame decider to John Higgins in their second round match at the Crucible.

Allen had held a 62-point lead, but Higgins completed a clearance of 71 to advance to the last eight.

The Scot will face Kyren Wilson later today, while seven-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan plays Stuart Bingham.

Later this morning, it's David Gilbert versus Stephen Maguire and Judd Trump against Jak Jones.
