Trump vs Selby — Crucible Final, Frame 24
Trump vs Selby : match score 15–9 to Selby
38-41
5 reds + colours
Trump is 3 behind with 55 on. He needs snookers eventually if this goes wrong — but there's still a way to win it clean if he can clear from here.
What's the shot — and what's he going for?
- Loose red — safe, just to stay in control.
- Loose red — potted, building a break off it
- Black off its spot — potted for value, ignoring the reds
Potted the loose red, screwing back onto the black to keep the break alive — with 55 still on the table and only 3 points behind, this was the moment to start building rather than play safe.
