Selby loses 6-5 to Northern Irishman from 5-2 ahead
Trailing 5-2 in the best-of-11 match, Allen, the 26-year-old from Antrim, fired home four racks back to back to clinch a thrilling victory in front of an appreciative crowd at Haikou Stadium. "It's very, very good to get through as any win against Mark Selby is a good win but to come from 5-2 behind is even better and the way I played in the last four frames would be worthy of winning any match," said Allen.
World number one Selby had looked in command, leading 3-1 and then 5-2, compiling a couple of centuries in the process. A break of 80, though, kept the Ulsterman in the match and he followed that up with a 79 and a 71 to level it up at 5-5. Allen then clinched victory with a fast flowing break of 112 which was the highlight of a top quality match. - http://www1.skysports.com/
