After impressing in the week, he found himself in a tough Semi Final against Mark Selby, runner-up in the World Championship in May. He trailed 3-0, 4-1, 5-3, 7-5 and led 8-7, but after six hours play spread out over the course of the day, the match was locked at 8-8.
And then, this happened:
With that, he advanced to the Final, where he played Stephen Maguire, who had easily progressed from his Semi Final. The Rocket stormed into an 8-0 lead, and eventually won 10-2, to win his first ranking event for more than two years, and head back to the top of the provisional World Rankings. He won £100,000 ($210,000) for his week's work.
Here's what Ronnie had to say about it. He is interviewed by 6 times World Champion and present World Number 15, the 50 year old Steve Davis.
