At around 8am on 28 September 2022, a few hours before his second-round match at the British Open in Milton Keynes, the talented 20-year-old Chang Bingyu received a phone call. It was older fellow professional Liang Wenbo, warning bad people had good money on Chang to lose the game 4-1. Liang promised Chang £6,000 for the exact result, and threatened serious consequences if he didn’t play ball.
Chang went along with the plot, although he never received any money. Welshman Jak Jones had no idea that his 4-1 victory that night was orchestrated by his opponent.
