The bet was placed eleven years ago by Dr You Sen Huang from Beijing, who staked £200 at odds of 500/1 that a Chinese born player would become World Champion before 2010. "The client has two more years in which to land what was a bold gamble, as there were no Chinese-born players anywhere in the rankings when he placed the bet." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Junhui is a 10/1 chance to win the tournament this year.

They are also facing a payout £109,000 to a Scottish client if Tiger Woods can equal Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 Majors before the end of 2010 after he staked £10,900 at odds of 10/1 seven years ago. Meanwhile, champion John Higgins has branded Ronnie O'Sullivan "stupid" for making lewd comments during a news conference at last month's China Open. Ronnie O'Sullivan's gestures after he lost to Marco Fu, are to be reviewed by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association disciplinary panel. |
