A World Snooker Championship match was halted due to a medical emergency in the crowd at the Crucible on Sunday morning.
Kyren Wilson was 1-0 up against Stuart Bingham in their best-of-25 second-round clash in Sheffield when the referee called a halt to proceedings during the second frame.
Spectators could be seen standing several rows back due to the incident, with many others sitting further forwards turning around with concern.
The BBC's broadcast of the match was temporarily suspended as they returned to the studio with pundit Stephen Hendry while the situation was resolved.
After just a few minutes, the match and broadcast resumed, with commentator Dennis Taylor confirming the individual in question had left the arena under their own steam.
"It was an elderly gentleman. He walked out with some assistance so he will be fine," said the Northern Irishman.
Wilson and Bingham made the last 16 by seeing off their respective qualifying opponents in the first round.
Bingham beat Haotian Lu 10-5 while Wilson was landed with arguably the toughest match of any seed in the opening round as he was paired with Ding Junhui.
As expected, it was one of the matches of the last-32 stage, with Wilson eventually prevailing 10-8.
On Saturday, Ronnie O'Sullivan broke two more Crucible records as he hammered Mark Allen 13-4 to reach the quarter-finals for the 20th time.
As well as eclipsing the previous best he shared with Stephen Hendry for reaching the last eight, O'Sullivan's 71st career win also took him clear for the number of matches won by a single player at The Crucible.
Typically O'Sullivan, who is now favourite to match the Scot's record of seven Crucible crowns next week, repeated his regular assertion that he has no interest in most of the plaudits that keep coming his way.
"It doesn't mean anything to me," insisted O'Sullivan. "They're not the kinds of statistics that I'm proud of. The ones that I'm proud of are the majors and that's about it really."
