And when lining up the black in the next frame at 48-0 to the good, he looked like he was well on his way to levelling the match. But the black stayed in the jaws of the pocket and just as happened in the first two frames of the tie, Bingham returned to the table to snatch the frame from Trump\u2019s grasp. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump bounced back immediately, taking the next two frames.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bingham then won a 34-minute-long frame to edge 7-6 in front, but again Trump recovered and restored parity.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17602\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17602\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17602\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"Bingham fielding questions at his post-match press conference.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17602\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17602\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"Bingham fielding questions at his post-match press conference.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/02\/AMcQ_Bingham.21_02_17.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript> Bingham fielding questions at his post-match press conference.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At seven frames apiece and 46-46 in the 15th frame, Trump was faced with a green requiring the finest of cuts over a middle pocket.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cheers when the ball dropped were perhaps the loudest of the evening from a crowd which had been lively &#8212; yet respectful &#8212; throughout.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trump potted brown, blue and pink to go 8-7 in front &#8212; the first time he had led in the match &#8212; and greeted the occasion with a fist-pump.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What followed was a 40-minute-long epic of a frame.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With just the colours remaining, the score was 44-43 to Trump, who was closing in on the finish line. However, after a lengthy tactical battle featuring misjudgment and brilliance in equal measure, it was Bingham who took the frame, making it 8-8.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So it was to be a deciding frame for the title.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At 24-14 up, Bingham missed a black off its spot &#8212; and by some distance. The Motorpoint Arena is not the Crucible, but it was performing a striking tribute. This was tense.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tension ratcheted up another notch when Trump\u2019s stay at the table took him no further than 25-24 ahead.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking the game by the scruff of the neck, Bingham knocked in a superb long red to kick-start a match-winning break of 55, clearing all but the black.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the match, Trump paid tribute to Bingham\u2019s efforts.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cStuart has done exceptionally well.
