The Incredible Champion of Champions 2018 (FAQs)
MARK ALLEN claimed the 2018 International Championship and will be heading to Coventry for the Champion of Champions hours after his big win in Daqing, China.
The Pistol, 32, joins 15 other top winners from the last year including the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Williams to battle it out for the first prize of 100K at the Ricoh Arena.
Allen’s 175K win in Daqing pulls him up to seventh in the rankings – but there were also some movers such as Jack Lisowski who reached the semi-finals – who is very close to slipping into the top 16.
Allen also had a staggering 14 tons in the event – including pocketing 3K for the rare 146 break, his third 146 in his career.
Runner-up Neil Robertson will also be joining the star-studded line-up as the winner of the 2018 Riga Masters.
