The UK Snooker Championship has been suspended due to a spectator medical emergency as Judd Trump is in action.
The Championship that is being held in York experienced a brief delay as a fan had fallen ill on the table two side of the arena. Play was suspended across both tables as spectators were asked to leave.
A short statement released by the WST read: “Play has been suspended as a member of the crowd has been taken ill.”
Fans took to X to show their shock with one saying: “[I’ve] never known them to clear the arena for an unwell person. Hope everything is okay.” Another said: “Thoughts are with the spectator taken unwell at the Snooker in York. The welfare of players, officials, spectators and arena staff are important at all events.”
A third commented: “Hope the person who’s taken poorly at the snooker makes a speedy recovery. Emptying the auditorium now.”
