Judd Trump managed to get a laugh out of the Crucible crowd as he tricked the referee to look away before moving a ball with his hand during his World Championship quarter-final with Stuart Bingham.
The 2019 world champion had accidentally snookered himself as he chased a century break. He found himself stuck behind the pink with no truly available route to pot the brown, his next ball.
Trump assessed his options, but it seemed as though he could only truly play a shot off multiple cushions and hope for the best. Eurosport commentator David Hendon even said: “Well it’s going to be a trick shot if it’s to be a century.”
