Ronnie O’Sullivan smashed his cue against the table shortly before withdrawing from the Championship League ahead of his final group game.
O’Sullivan, who was leading 2-1 in sets at the time, was seen thrusting his cue on the corner of the table after missing what he deemed an easy pot in the bottom left pocket.
The pink ball that O’Sullivan was aiming to sink fired back off the cushion, with the snooker star opting to take his frustration out on his no doubt expensive bit of kit.
He went on to lose the contest against Robert Milkins 3-2, but not before he appeared to give up on the tie completely.
