Mark Williams and Zhao Xintong had to halt play in the Crucible final.
The World Snooker Championship final was stopped in the sixth frame due to a medical emergency, with both Mark Williams and Zhao Xintong told to sit in their chairs and not step up to the table. Towards the beginning of the frame, Williams was eyeing up his opening pot with a long red, using the rest.
However, before he could strike the ball, he was informed by referee Desislava Bozhilova to halt proceedings as she was alerted to an ill fan in the crowd. Williams was told to return to his chair and wait until the person in question was able to receive medical attention.
