Kyren Wilson’s Tour Championship showdown with Ding Junhui was halted twice due to an unexpected nosebleed for the Englishman.
The Kettering star was forced to step away mid-frame as blood poured from his nose, leaving spectators and TV viewers stunned.
He received medical attention and briefly returned to the table — only for the issue to flare up again moments later, raising fears that he might have to forfeit the match.
Commentator Dave Hendon explained: “The referee has taken Ding out of the arena, he’s been told what’s happening.
“Play is suspended, unfortunately. You never know what’s going to happen in snooker.”
He later added: “We wish him well, we hope he’s able to resume this match.”
Retired snooker pro Alan McManus weighed in, sharing his own experience: “It’s never happened to me, but I do remember playing in the Masters one year when my nose was dripping just with the cold.
“It’s really annoying. I ended up putting a bit of tissue up my nose to stop the dripping. Obviously, Kyren is having to take a time out.”
After a half-hour delay, Wilson returned to the action.
However, he struggled to regain his rhythm as Ding capitalised on the disruption, clinching his sixth frame to establish a commanding 6-1 lead.
Wilson, no stranger to mid-match nosebleeds, will be back at the table for the continuation of the best of 19 frames battle at 7pm.
One of his most memorable nosebleeds occurred in the 2018 World Championship semi-final against John Higgins.

Wilson had begun the game with a break of 70, but the interruption for his nose bleed seemed to wobble his performance.
Ding retaliated with runs of 126, 73, 76, 59 and 80. The winner of the contest will face Mark Selby or Neil Robertson in the second semi-final on Saturday.
