Kyren Wilson and Jak Jones were made to wait to continue their final at The Crucible as a fan was taken out of the auditorium after they threw up inside the venue
The final of the World Snooker Championship was paused for a few minutes after a spectator threw up during the second day of play.
Paul Collier, who was refereeing the frame, instructed Jones to briefly pause while the spectator was attended to. The players were given an extended break at the end of the frame before play could resume, as staff helped clear up the mess. During the BBC's coverage, pundit John Parrott joked that "That's the biggest cheer for a cleaner you will ever see". The ill spectator was taken out of the venue before play continued, per The Sun.
"I don't understand why not. He's absolutely not even got out of the blocks, and he's expecting to pot what could be difficult shots. It's a no-brainer to me to go to the practice table."During the BBC's coverage after the 25th frame, it was pointed out that Jones has played more than 20 hours' more snooker than his opponent. The man from Cwmbran is vying to become the first qualifier to go all the way since Shaun Murphy in 2005.
