Strong nerves Ursenbacher in the 11th frame

Ursenbacher took the lead 2-0 and then 4-2 in the best-of-11 game, before O’Sullivan took the lead with 3 straight 5: 4 wins in his favor. But the world number two made a mistake in the 10th frame, which Ursenbacher (number 66) was able to use to make it 5: 5.

In the “Decider”, Ursenbacher presented a break of 47 after a nice rookie and a few minutes later he brought the frame and the game closer.

The UK Championship is one of the top 3 tournaments of the year.
