In a gripping semi-final at the World Snooker Championship, Mark Allen and Wu Yize are locked at 7-7 after an extraordinary session that featured the longest frame in tournament history, lasting 100 minutes. Allen, who started the afternoon trailing 6-2, mounted a remarkable comeback, winning five consecutive frames, including a stunning break of 145, the best of the tournament. The session concluded with a bizarre 14th frame characterized by a stalemate that saw 55 minutes pass without a ball being potted. Allen initially led the frame 47-13, but after a foul, Wu capitalized to win the frame 88-66. This session's conclusion left both players at an impasse, prompting criticism from six-time world champion Steve Davis, who described the situation as an embarrassment. Meanwhile, in the other semi-final, Shaun Murphy and John Higgins are also tied at 8-8, showcasing a high standard of play compared to their earlier sessions.
