        • Selby´s out! I would have loved to see him win, but King was the best today. He was really potting well.

          • Yes Mark Selby didn't reach the same standard of play he has shown previously this season - maybe the pressure, being one of the favourites to lift the trophy, got to him a little?

            Mark King on the other hand choose this occasion to play his best snooker for quite some time - hats off to a well deserved winner!

            • King through

              Everyone here will be getting indigestion from eating their words now. I think i was the only one here to predict a King victory and the Romford Godfather delivers, beating the player of the season 10-8. He can go all the way now

                You mean The Boss? Yeah, great predicting indeed. I suspect he's Mark King's manager or something He hasn't been online during the match

                • Well done to King! This is the first really big shock of this Crucible. Selby was given favourite by so many ...

                  • Yes well done by King but you've got to admit it was a surprising result, judging by what we knew before the match.

                      • Well done Mark King, I feared for the tournament if Selby was able to settle in and bring his usual negative approach to his games. Selby showed he is limited to what he can do to win and found King a different proposition to the players he has beaten this season. King showed a mental strength that was tough enough and held himself together brilliantly under pressure.

                          • I'm glad that King have won it! Congratulations Mark !
                            I think Selby concentrate too much on PR things and he was unsettled during the match.
                            But the happiest man is certainly Peter Ebdon...

                            • If Selby squared things to make it 8 frames all how different it could've been! I'm gutted because i had a biggish win on Selby and expected a really good run for my money. Though i have to admit that's the best i've seen King in years and fully deserves the win, playing out of his skin at times! Ebdon v King next, and i just hope for King's sake he can maintain that form again Ebdon

                              • King wins it for Bosses

                                Only 3 of the 93 participants in the prediction contest predicted a win for the great man. We are the following:

                                The Boss
