The win earned Selby £10,000 and Appleton £5,000. Congratulations!

Mentioned should be this is the brittish type of 8-ball, played with snookerlike balls (7 red balls, 7 yellow balls and one black ball) on a table with snookercloth, and with rounded holes (like on snooker tables. The table looks like a small snooker table. The rules also differ from standard (american) 8-ball pool rules.
