Mark Williams

After three days of exciting matches, multiple final frame deciders and relatively few shocks we know which players have made it through to the last 16 of the Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open at the Newport Centre with the Welsh trio; Mark Williams, Ryan Day and Matthew Stevens all making it through.

'Welsh Potting Machine' Mark Williams has won his second ranking title in less than a year by beating Mark Selby 9-7 in an exciting German Masters final at the Tempodrom in Berlin. Mark takes home 50,000 Euro's and his 18th ranking title of his career.

After an exciting first day of action at the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters where both  Mark Selby and Ali Carter lost to lower seeds Mark King and Peter Ebdon  respectively, I was in attendance of the second day with more shocks to come in the Ding v Williams and Dott v Higgins matches.

It's the end of the year and the end of professional competition for a few weeks until the Masters in January, so it's time to give out some awards to some players that have achieved the most on the baize over the last 12 months. Who will win the coveted Maximum Snooker Player of the Year title?

It's the final day of action at the 12BET.com UK Championship in Telford and it has come down to the final match which went all the way to the final frame and brown ball. The winner was the resurgent John Higgins who beat Mark Williams in what was one of the best matches I have ever seen.
