Yize Powers Past Allen After Blackout

Chinese sensation Wu Yize powered into a commanding 6-2 lead over Mark Allen in the world championship semi-final after a power outage at the Crucible. The 22-year-old produced a clinical run of four frames to take control.

The match was briefly halted when a 15-minute blackout interrupted Thursday's evening session, but Wu returned to dominate proceedings, leaving Allen watching from his chair as the Chinese hotshot established his authority in the contest. turconews.click
