00:00 30-year-old Welsh qualifier Jack Jones endured a remarkable run at the Snooker World Championship
00:07 to reach the final. He fell to an 18-14 defeat at the Crucible after suffering the worst
00:12 start to a final for 33 years as he went 8-0 down. The Welshman managed a strong comeback
00:19 to get the score to 17-14 before Kyron Wilson finally won a decisive 18th frame to claim
00:25 a first World Championship title. After the final, Jones said congratulations to Kyron
00:30 and his family, they deserve it so much. Before the final, fans had a lot to say about how
00:36 the silent assassin was announced to the stage. He was left shaking his head after BBC presenter
00:41 Rob Walker introduced him by claiming he was under pressure. He had beaten world champions
00:46 Judd Trump and Stuart Bingham on his way to the Crucible final and Snooker fans on social
00:52 media were quick to condemn Walker for the remark of the Welshman.
