Snooker's wild boy Quinten Hann ended up playing with a borrowed cue against Peter Ebdon after losing his own in a bizarre trans-continental mix-up.
"Someone nicked the butt of my cue," Hann said. "I flew with it from China to Australia. On the way back I got to Shanghai and immigration pulled me up.
"I bought a new ticket, but my cue went to Beijing without me. I flew to London on Friday, the cue turned up on Sunday, and the butt was gone."
When he discovered his own cue was unusable for this year's World Championship, Hann reacted in a thoroughly professional manner.
