UK Snooker Championship 2017 results LIVE: Latest scores with John Higgins in action
THE UK Championship is back with Ronnie O’Sullivan in town - but Mark Selby is out.
GETTY
Selby was defending champion after beating five-time winner O’Sullivan last year.
But he crashed out in the second round 6-3 to Scott Donaldson.
"I did not do that much wrong," said Selby. "Scott played absolutely unbelievable and to play like that on the main stage is remarkable.
“I have been saying all season, everyone seems to be overperforming against me."
The event runs until December 10.
The UK Championship is part of the Triple Crown and has a prize money pot of £850,000 with the winner pocketing £170,000.
