EPTC 3 - Antwerp Open
Mark Allen secured event 3 of the European Tour in Belgium
with a 4-1 victory over Mark Selby in the final. The Northern Irishman got off
to a fantastic start with three centaury breaks of 117, 102 and 106 to lead
3-0. Selby managed to prevent the whitewash by winning frame four but missed
the black off its spot in frame five allowing Allen to clear up to take the
final and a cheque for £12,000.
Allen had earlier beaten Welsh amateur player Andrew Pagett
who did remarkably to reach the semi-finals, 4-1. Pagett, who had been knocked
off the tour at the end of last season, beat Stuart Bingham in the last 64 and
came through a tense final frame deciding win over Neil Robertson in the Quarter-Finals.
In the other semi-final, Selby produced a totally dominant display to defeat
Ali Carter 4-0.
An-inform Selby had also demolished Marco Fu by the same
scoreline in the quarters to book his place in the last four. The other quarter
final games saw Carter beat Joe Perry 4-1 whilst Allen overcame Ben Woolaston
4-3.
