| Ronnie smiles as the crowd cheers on |
After an overnight lead of 10-7, Ronnie was never in danger as the final day 1st session started with him taking the lead and further extending it to 15-10 after the afternoon session, requiring only 3 more frames from the evening session to win the title for the 4th time.
As the evening session cued off, Ronnie took the 1st frame to lead 16-10 but stumbled in Frame 27 to let Ali narrow back the gap to 5 frames at 16-11. Ronnie swiftly replied and reeled in the 2 frames required to capture the title.
Ronnie walks away with £250,000 cash prize while Ali takes home the Runner up prize of £125,000. Highest break went to Stephen Hendry for his maximum break in the 1st Round match against Stuart Bingham, earning himself £10,000 for the Highest Break and £40,000 for the Maximum effort, total £50,000.
