Ronnie O'Sullivan won the UK Championship for a record

O'Sullivan retained his title to move to 19 World, UK and
Masters trophies - surpassing Stephen Hendry's record in the 'Triple Crown'
events.
A run of six frames in a row allowed the Englishman to
dominate the final.
Northern Ireland's Allen rallied to trail 9-6, but
O'Sullivan closed out the match with a break of 78 to collect the trophy and
the £170,000 top prize.
Five-time world champion O'Sullivan sat out the 2015 event,
but has dominated at the Barbican in recent years, claiming three titles since
2014.
