Mark Allen produces the first big upset of the tournament.

Reigning champion Ronnie O'Sullivan is out of the World Championships after a close fought defeat to Mark Allen.

The young Northern Irishman played some impressive snooker in this morning's session - winning four of the six frames to send the favourite out.

Allen was matched at [12.0] to win in what was always a close, nip-and-tuck game.

Ronnie was backed at a low of [1.09] to progress and [2.86] to win the tournament.

From a high of [100.0] Allen now trades at [9.8] for Crucible glory.
