End of the second round at the 2016 World Snooker Championships

A long night at the Crucible to end the second round of the 2016 World Snooker Championships as five time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan came from 12-9 down against Barry Hawkins.  He hit breaks of 124, 88 and 63 to level the match.  A drawn out game of cat-and-mouse ensured in the deciding 25th frame where a mistake to put the white ball in let Barry Hawkins who then proceeded to wrap up the frame 70-15 with a break of 56.

Unusually for a match featuring Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins fiinshed earlier on the other table, so the central divide was lifted and the game was played to a finish in front of the whole arena.
