What prize money they get

As mentioned, Zhang Anda gets £50,000 for finishing second.

It’ll be priceless to him in the long term as he adds ranking points and gets himself seeded in the Tour Championship among other things.

For Mark Allen, he scoops a cool £125,000 prize for winning. Not bad.

Champ’s reaction

Mark Allen admitted it was a ‘tough day’ despite getting over the line to claim this trophy.

He told ITV: “I’m not sure I’ve got pretty left in me!

“It’s been a really tough day and with how well Zhang’s played all week, I actually dragged him down today.

“My safety was good, it kept me in the match. That wasn’t a lot of fun to be involved in but I’m happy to come through.

“I want to keep winning and if I can get to 20 or 30 I’ll be pleased. But I’ll be gutted to not win a World Championship so it’s all geared towards that.”

Final stats

Zhang Anda scored four more points than Mark Allen today.

He had more 50+ breaks, a higher pot rate, took more shots and spent longer at the table.

He’ll learn a lot from this one though with Mark Allen getting the victory despite all that.
