'What a finish, what a win' - Liang Wenbo celebrates wildly after last-gasp win over Sanderson Lam at Snooker Shoot Out

Liang Wenbo is never slow to show his emotions, as those who witnessed his celebration in the semi-finals of the UK Championship in 2015 will testify to. The Snooker Shoot Out may not have the gravitas of the UK Championship, but trophy, ranking points and money are on offer — and it is serious business. Ad/> Liang was in trouble during his last-32 clash with Sanderson Lam, as he trailed by 10 points with 35 seconds on the clock.
