    Hard luck on Trump missing out on the last red. One frame away...

    Life ain't always empty.

    This is just ridiculous from Trump. Absolutely outrageous stuff. Brilliant to watch

    Unreal. This match is likely the best snooker I've ever seen live. 17-9, as above I can't see this getting to the interval

    This is potentially the last frame of the match on now. Let's watch & await the outcome.

    This frame is a slow burner but Trump is now beginning to get advantage here to win it.

    That tight red looks like to have sealed it but we still need one more colour.

    It's as clinical as I've ever seen a player win any tournament, never mind the worlds. He is like a fcucking robot

    It's only taken Trump about 20 minutes this evening to win his first World Championship. Thoroughly deserved, feels almost anticlimactic though, such was the procession. Double scores victory.

    Nice touch from Higgins there, "I was lucky I didn't even have to pay for a ticket"

    If we're making predictions, then I guess 18-8 to Trump.

    Good call sligeach, almost on the nose.

    Very pleased for Trump. Been a long time coming this. Such a complete performance over the two days, confirmation of how far he's come on this season in terms of keeping his table discipline and respecting the balls. Can it really be two weeks since he nearly lost to Thepchaiya Un Nooh?

    If Judd keeps levelheaded and dedicated, he could dominate snooker for the next number of years.

    No way Judd would give credit to some other snooker player not even as inspiration but his dad

    Worst possible final ever in terms of personalities. Hope sincerely it never repeats again.

    It was a good Championship when you look back over the highlights there.

    Remember, Trump just squeaked through the 1st round after being miles behind. Could easily have been a different story.

    He used most of his winning speech to do nothing but praise John Higgins. He was asked a question and gave an honest answer, his father was his inspiration. Nothing wrong with that.

    Was it hard to get tickets?

    Was in the queue at 5.30am, probably about 150/175 in front of me. Was served at 9.30ish. Was pretty cold.

    You're given numbered wristbands and there's toilets and a tea stand if you want to step away.

    Much better getting tickets this year (apparently) as they had about 8-10 people serving people on laptops. Last year they only had two and the queues didn't dissipate til about 4pm (a lady in the queue told me).

    And he was 9-7 down to Ding. He peaked at the right times

    F*ck personalities. Great snooker is what matters, it's not a personality contest.

    Yesterday was one of the best final days of snooker I've ever seen. And today was brilliant too. Rather that than have two incredible personalities who struggle to hit highs.

    I'd have liked it a little closer maybe in terms of frames but I'd take that quality of final again.
