Allen claimed a 13-10 victory over debutant qualifier Jak Jones.
MARK ALLEN REACHED the semi-finals of the World Championship for just the second time in his career with a hard-fought win over qualifier Jak Jones.
“It was a complete slog to be honest. The first session was really good but I was awful after that and it was just a matter of digging deep, trying to stay as positive as possible and trying to get 13 frames. That’s what I did.” However, Allen took the next frame after twice trapping his opponent in costly snookers and a break of 64 then moved the left-hander to within one of victory at 12-10.
