Selby Holds Off Trump to Clinch UK Championship
Mark Selby secured his third UK Championship and £250,000 prize, overcoming Judd Trump 10-8 after building a strong early lead and withstanding a late comeback.
- On Sunday, Mark Selby beat Judd Trump 10-8 at the Barbican in York, winning his third UK Championship title and the £250,000 top prize.
- Selby credited a change in mindset to enjoying the game after winning the Champion of Champions last month and battling depression, which included considering retirement after 2024.
- Selby started with five straight half-centuries to lead 5-0 and was 6-2 after the opening session, but Judd Trump mounted a mid-match surge with breaks of 62, 105, 125 and 55 to close to 8-7.
- Selby clinched the victory with a decisive 69 in the final visit, and Trump takes the 100,000 runner-up prize while ending 2025 without a title.
- Having met in Leicester weeks ago, the rivalry carried into York with Selby hitting three centuries in the November final and a disputed 11th-frame free-ball Trump questioned.
