Sheffield – When Wu Yize finally punched Pink to win the frame after an hour, 40 minutes and 21 seconds, he literally had to be held back. The Chinese actually wanted to leave the stage of the Crucible Theater to take a quick breather, but the marathon frame, which is now in the history books, seriously disrupted the course of the Snooker World Championship. The session in the semi-final against Northern Irishman Mark Allen had to be stopped early when the score was 7:7. So Wu turned around, shook hands with the referee and his opponent and packed up his cue.
