Snooker star Mark Allen has had a brilliant week at the Ultimate Pool Championships and faces Mick Hill in the group final on Sunday night (7pm).
Allen's crossover has worked a dream this week and Allen has left fans, commentators and fellow players with their jaws on the floor at times with some incredible shots and breaks.
Eddie Barker was on the receiving end yesterday when Allen was left with a hugely difficult shot on the black ball to win frame two.

However, the Antrim man pulled off a spectacular billiards style shot to bury the black in off another ball in the middle of the table. It even had the commentators laughing.
"Oh wow, what a shot, an exhibition shot," said one.
Earlier on Sunday, Allen was in group semi-final action against Luke Gilbert and pulled off the perfect shot to get the match underway.
Allen's breaks have been catching the eye and this time he smashed into the pack and a kind ricochet helped the black ball drop into the middle pocket and decide the frame with one shot.
It was the second time in two days that Allen won a frame in that manner.
Allen turned to pool considering there are just seven ranking events, including the drawn out Championship League, this side of Christmas with the revamped UK Championship the only event with a winners’ prize above £100,000.
And Allen slammed recently: “The schedule this season is a shambles, it’s a sorry state of affairs.
“This is the worst it’s been since Barry first took over in 2010 or 2011.
“It’s the worst season by a country mile. The events are smaller, the money’s smaller and there are less playing days."
