final

In the final, Mike Hallett and Darren Morgan met two players who were not necessarily considered to be top favorites for the title, but who were still among the top of the world. Both had made it to the finals with victories over unseeded players in the semi-finals, which was an indication that numerous good players had been eliminated in the previous rounds. The endgame was the only game that continued to be played over several frames, in this case three.

The first frame clearly went to Hallett at 97:28, but Morgan was able to equalize the game with a 53 break to 35:72 in the next frame. The decider went to Morgan with 32:65, who won the tournament.
