The Australian, a three-time UK champ, looked to be in control of the tie.

But he ended up throwing the match away as Trump rallied for a superb comeback to reach the quarters of the snooker tournament.

However, the highlight of the game came when the two men found themselves in an awkward position.

The white ball got trapped directly behind the yellow and the green, which were millimetres away from touching each other.

Both men produced some deft touches in an attempt to set themselves up.

But Robertson ended up being snookered by Trump when the green ended up completely blocking the yellow along the side.

Robertson then made out like he was about to attempt an outrageously impossible shot, which would have seen the white spin around the green and back to hit the yellow.

And he left the audience in stitches as he cheekily declared “no chance” before leaving the shot alone.

Trump ended up potting the decisive ball to take the frame before soaring to victory.

But afterwards, Robertson branded the conditions at the York Barbican “unplayable” and was backed up by seven-time world champ Stephen Hendry.

Robertson told the BBC: “I’m glad Stephen say it was unplayable because that was as tough as I’d ever played on.

“It was as unplayable as it gets in professional conditions. Being such a tough sport anyway it can make either player look stupid.

“This venue and the conditions usually play well — it’s not the table fitters’ fault. The arena felt fine and I don’t understand it.

“With the bounce off the cushions it can fly two or three feet further on and you’re out of position. I can’t really fault my performance, it was just really tough going out there.”
