We may have just witnessed the biggest shock in World Snooker Championship history. 52 year old Davis knocked out current champion John Higgins with a thrilling 13-11 victory.William Hill say they already face a million pound payout on 500/1 shot Steve Davis.

‘One client from Fleet in Hampshire opened a new account purely to stake a £100 bet on Steve Davis for the World Title at 500/1, and we have taken scores more bets for him at 500/1 before he played Higgins – if he wins the payout will be into seven figures, and he is now down to 16/1 to win the tournament – while we are eve quoting him at 33/1 to become this year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘He is certainly the most interesting player in the tournament as far as we are concerned.’

Hills now have Davis 16/1 to win the Championship with Ronnie O’Sullivan 3/1 favourite.
