It was first played in the Crucible Theater in Sheffield , England , where the professional world championship has been taking place since 1977 . The winner was Jimmy White from England, who defeated Darren Morgan 5-3 in the final. For White it was the second victory at the Senior World Championship after 2010 . He was also able to win his first title at the Crucible Theater, after losing there six times in the final of the Professional World Cup.
