“I never got carried away,” Trump said. “You know against Ronnie (O’Sullivan), John Higgins and Mark you know something is going to happen. You are probably better off being close.

“John has played like that quite a few times. That is the first time Mark has done it. Ronnie has also done it.

“It’s like playing a computer game on hard. Every time you break off I was leaving him and every time it was game over. It was good to watch in the end.
