This rotating overhead camera is a great new addition. Gives so much better and interesting perspective on the table and positioning. Hope they continue to have it in other tournaments as well, but sadly i think it's only for the Shoot-out, as it is the "relaxed" one.

Hossein Vafaei vs Mark Williams in the Shoot-Out final!

And Vafaei wins it! But for Liang Wenbo's cueing mistake in the SF he wouldn't even be in the final but he played very well during the tournament (highest break as well).

Very close for Ronnie to equal Stephen Hendry's record 7 World Titles (in the modern era). I don't know what has happened to Trump the last few days. He should have lost to Mark Williams in the 1/2 already, after blowing up a 12-5 lead, to go to a deciding frame.

Trump pulled back to 14-11 before the final session tonight.

Ronnie got 7th title! So happy for him!

18-13 is the final score and O'Sullivan ties Hendry's modern record of seven world championships!
