The UK Championship 2006 was a snooker tournament that was held from December 4th to 17th, 2006 at the Barbican Center in York . Peter Ebdon won the final 10: 6 against Stephen Hendry . The two had faced each other in the final eleven years earlier and Ebdon had clearly lost at that time. For Hendry it was his tenth and final final at the UK Championship. So he drew level with record holder Steve Davis , but missed to set his record of six wins.
