2008 Huangshan Cup Snooker All-star Game
Not winning his first World Snooker Championship, didn’t break Ali Carter’s spirit, since only a couple of weeks later the chap had triumphed the 2008 Huangshan Cup Snooker All-star Game. Carter faced Hong Kong snooker phenomena Marco Fu, whom despite his amazing 139 break that followed a tight 3-3 score, had lost the final matches, setting the score on 5-3, and handing the title to 2008 World Snooker runner-up.
Meanwhile, Chinese snooker superstar Ding Junhui, who made it to the third place at the Huangshan Cup, had announced its intentions to donate his entire winning bonus (150,000 yuan which equivalents to about 20,000 U.S. dollars) to the Sichuan Province earthquake victims.
