Judd Trump was sent crashing out of the World Snooker Championship as a dramatic day at the Crucible concluded with Hossein Vafaei clinching a final frame decider.

Judd Trump spoke to the BBC just moments after his surprise defeat.

Iran’s Hossein Vafaei produced the biggest upset of this year’s World Snooker Championship by defeating world number one Judd Trump in a final-frame decider on Monday. The qualifier held his nerve to compile a break of 91 in the 25th frame, sealing a 13–12 victory and reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in his career.

Judd Trump urged Hossein Vafaei to believe in himself more after losing to the Iranian in a dramatic World Snooker Championship second round clash. The Pride of Persia edged the world number one 13-12 in a brilliant game, which seemed to be slipping away from him when he fell 10-7 behind.
