professional snooker tournament that took place from 20 April to 6 May at

the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. It was the 43rd consecutive year
the World Snooker Championship had been held at the Crucible, and the
20th and final ranking event of the 2018–19 season. The winner of the title
was Judd Trump (pictured), who defeated John Higgins 18–9 in the final to
claim his first World Championship, completing the Triple Crown. Defending
champion Mark Williams lost 9–13 to David Gilbert in the second round.
The tournament featured 100 century breaks, the highest number ever
recorded at an official snooker event. The final match alone included 11
centuries, the most ever scored in the final of a ranking event. Higgins
compiled the highest break, a 143, in his semifinal win over Gilbert. Shaun
Murphy defeated Luo Honghao in the first round 10–0, the
