China's Liang Wenbo won a marathon battle on Monday and will join two other Chinese snooker players Ding Junhui and Yan Bingtao for the final … Liang Wenbo Accused of Cheating in Snooker Win written by metsbp July 29, 2020 The incident occurred at a crucial moment of the world number 34’s World Championship qualifying victory. The left-hander had previously appeared in two ranking event finals, losing to Ronnie O’Sullivan at the 2009 Shanghai Masters and Neil Robertson in his first triple crown final at the 2015 UK Championship.A professional since 2005, Liang rose to prominence at the 2008 World Championship when having qualified for the Crucible Theatre for the first time he defeated world number two Ken Doherty and two-time semi-finalist Joe Swail to reach the quarter-finals before losing to Ronnie O’Sullivan.Later that year he made his first 147 break as a professional during a remarkable performance against Martin Gould in qualifying for the Bahrain Championship which also saw him make two breaks of 139 and a run of 115 during a 5-1 success.In qualifying for the 2018 World Championship he enjoyed a similarly hot performance against Rod Lawler, compiling another maximum break and coming close to making a second during the same match two frames later missing the final black.Liang has achieved a career-high ranking to date of number 11, on three occasions from 2016-2017.He is a two-time winner of snooker’s World Cup in 2011 and 2017, also reaching the final in 2019 but losing out to Scottish pair John Higgins and Stephen Maguire.WPBSA Head Office: World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, 75 Whiteladies Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 2NT By accepting, you agree to their use. End of conversation.Hopefully he’ll lose first round at The Crucible, no time for cheats in this game.You know 100% that you fouled on this type of shot.

End of conversation.”Three-time world champion Mark Williams and recent Championship League runner-up Ben Woollaston were two fellow snooker competitors to react in surprise too.Upon viewing the footage, it seems unlikely that the Chinese cueist would have failed to feel the complete contact made between his cue and the ball.The referee, who was standing directly behind the shot when it was taken, has also faced criticism for failing to make the call.For O’Brien, the Dubliner was painfully denied at the final hurdle of the preliminaries for the fourth time in the last decade and faces an anxious wait to see if his progress from round two was enough to secure tour survival.I hate this.. Blatant cheating… he knows that touched the cue… should be banned.

It’s apparently Judgement Day both on and off the table today as Liang Wenbo faces cheating in snooker claims after suspect video emerged of his late triumph over Fergal O’Brien.Liang held off the Irishman for a dramatic 10-9 success that saw him qualify for the World Snooker Championship for the first time since 2017.The former English Open champion produced a marvellous 141 total clearance in the 19th frame when the pressure seemed to be at its peak.But earlier in that decisive frame, Liang appeared to make an obvious foul that went unnoticed by the two players as well as the referee.With every ball still on the table and the match delicately poised, Liang played off the pack of reds up into the baulk area – but inadvertently hit another red with the tip of his cue with no foul awarded.Whether or not the incident would have had a major bearing on the outcome of the contest is of course unknown.But if a foul had been called, O’Brien would have had the option to put Liang back in and face what was a tricky safety shot.Wondering whether this foul by Liang in the decider would’ve made a difference had it been called… Social media reaction surrounding the shot has lit up on Tuesday, which is the last day of the World Championship qualifiers known as Judgement Day.It’s fair to say that the overall consensus is not kind on Liang, with fans, players, and even other high-profile sports stars offering their opinions to the possible cheating in snooker claims.Professional golfer Ian Poulter tweeted: “I hate this..
