World Champion Judd Trump needs to win the last three frames if he’s to make the last 16 of the UK Championship. Nigel Bond leading 5-3.

That sums up the problem with snooker these days. Just when you think there will emerge a great for this time he gets beaten/nearly beaten by an ancient journeyman.

Nigel wins!
