THE World Snooker Championship final was interrupted after an insect was spotted on the table mid-session.
Kyren Wilson was winning 11-7 when referee Paul Collier stepped in to remove the insect.
Welshman Jak Jones had spotted it while taking a shot in the 19th frame.
A commentator joked: "That's the first victim of the day!"
Spectators at the Crucible also saw the funny side of it as a wave of laughter travelled around the arena.

Fans took to social media to react, with one person writing: "I hope they make the insects start paying next year!"
Another quipped: "It’s like an episode of Family Guy ????."
Stephen Maguire admitted he ATE a fly earlier in the tournament after picking it off the table mid-match against David Gilbert.
He said: "It was just a fly. I spat it out when nobody was looking."
And Stuart Bingham was forced to catch a fly with his bare hands mid-frame during his semi-final against Jones last week.

After realising what he'd done, fans in attendance burst into laughter before play resumed.
The commentators were even taken aback, with one saying: "Good catch. Nothing wrong with his reflexes either, John."
