Tension later filled the auditorium at the Manchester Central venue before the obligatory face-off.

The auditorium is being redeveloped, reinstating the back wall, new control room, upgraded lighting system in the gantry, and a new ventilation system.

The auditorium, the gift shop, a classroom, park offices and several snakes and lizards used for educational purposes were gone.

Located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, the new venue has a 550-seat auditorium, six state-of-the-art dance studios and a free public performance space.

It prompted joyous scenes as the fans inside the auditorium erupted with Murphy, who missed out on a 147 in his quarter-final win against Neil Robertson, being warmly congratulated by Allen.
