[edit] The event

The 1994 Embassy World Snooker Championship took place at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, between the 16th April to the 2nd May 1994. The final between Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White turned out to be the best of their 4 World finals together with Hendry winning 18-17. With White in amongst the balls and the finishing line in sight, he missed a routine black off the spot, from which Hendry duly cleaned up. It was to be White's sixth and final appearance in a World final, and he seems destined to never win a World title at this stage. The tournament also featured one of the most remarkable comebacks in its history - Cliff Thorburn led Nigel Bond 9-2 before losing 10-9.Bond/Thorburn
