Judd Trump won his third consecutive title in Belfast as he claimed Northern Ireland Open victory in style, winning the 10th frame after a stunning seven-cushion pot on the pink to leave him on the black. Only four previous players in snooker history have won three ranking titles in a row and the 34-year-old is clearly on top of his game right now.<\/p>\n
Trump and Chris Wakelin split the remaining two frames as the former sealed a 9-3 victory on Sunday. He looked unbeatable while pocketting an \u00a380,000 cash prize. His best frame occurred when leading 7-2 with a formidable break of 125 that included a stunning pot on the pink as he went around the table to land on the black.<\/p>\n
Trump sent the pink to the middle pocket with power before going off seven cushions, setting himself up to pot the black to raucous cheers at the Waterfront Hall. Even Wakelin chuckled away in awe of Trump, before clapping in unison with the crowd.<\/p>\n
Wakelin replied by winning the next frame in his best performance of the match, but Trump responded with a 129 break – his third century in four frames – to seal another victory.<\/p>\n
