MYSTERIOUS: Mark allen sees 175 000 slip away after pitiful welsh open defeat | Mind Blowing Facts

Mark Allen was beaten 5-1 by Robert Milkins at the Welsh Open on Friday, a defeat that has proven costly in more ways than one.

The quarter-final loss means Allen misses out on a €7,300 (£6,500) semi-final bonus, and also rules him out of contention of winning the huge BetVictor European series bonus of €168,000 (£150,000).

Allen needed to reach the semi-final to remain in the hunt for the gigantic bonus. As a result of the defeat, the €168,000 prize will be contested for by Milkins, Joe O'Connor and Ali Carter.
