RESULT: TRUMP 8-9 LISOWSKI
"I feel like I'm dreaming. It is surreal," said Lisowski on TNT Sports. "I've thought about this moment since I was six or seven. Look, I just want to say to Judd, he's been my best friend since I was about 14. We were in Hong Kong eight months ago when we got the message about my dad. Can I say to Judd, you are the closest thing I'll get to a brother and I love you."
On the fans in Northern Ireland, Lisowski said: "Thank you for coming out tonight to support us. You have been unbelievable all week. I've got my dad's socks on today. When he passed away, he never saw me win a ranking title, but this is for my mum. I'm 34 and my mum still picks me up when I'm down."

RESULT: TRUMP 8-9 LISOWSKI
"I'm so pleased for Jack," says world No. 1 and close friend Judd Trump. "I'm a lot happier than I would had I won, but I gave it my all and Jack fully deserved the win. The first title is so special what he's been through, his whole life really. I'm glad to be a friend. And hopefully, we see him in many more finals."
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-73)
An emotional finish in Belfast as Jack Lisowski claims his first major title in the sport. Eight months after the sudden death of his father. A huge moment in his career. But one which is bitter-sweet because of wretched goings on away from the table.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-67)
In goes the red he requires and down goes the blue. Lisowski is your new champion.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-55)
Lead moves to 47 as another red is downed. Onto the blue and the reds are waiting for him..
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-35)
This is it now for Jackpot surely. "Now or never for Jack," says Neal Foulds on comms. He has to make this clearance.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-28)
All there for him now if he can keep a tight rein on this white. All about the moment, but he misses a red. Twitched that. And he knows it. But Judd then jaws a tricky red too. And Lisowski misses an easy red too. Cued across it. But Trump misses with the rest. Well now. What a huge reprieve here for Lisowski.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-19)
In goes the black with rest and he lands nicely on a red to left centre. In goes yellow. Crowd getting very excited here. A huge chance for Jack to hit the jackpot now.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-1)
Brilliant safety by Jackpot to get white behind yellow. The pace of that safety shot was truly exceptional. Chance of a long red for Lisowski. And he bangs it home. Now then. A chance for Jack.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-0)
Decent safety by Trump after Lisowski gets excellent length on the white. Jack narrowly missing a long red with a shot to nothing. And Judd responds with a terrific safety.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (7-0)
Bit of a blunder by Jack on the safety, but he ends up getting lucky with white running up to the yellow. Judd knocks in red to right centre, but can't land on black.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (6-0)
Trump in and out of baulk via blue, but too much juice on the white and ends up snooker himself on the pink. Just a run up to the pack off side rail.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (1-0)
Not a bad break-off shot by Jack. Judd facing a long red seconds later. And in it goes. That was a corker.
TRUMP 8-8 LISOWSKI (0-0)
So off we go then for this pivotal final frame. Lisowski requires it for his first major title, Trump for a record-extending fifth win in Belfast. Jack breaks off the final frame.
TRUMP 7-8 LISOWSKI (81-0)
Another 42 run from Judd Trump to see out the frame. Jack didn't really get a chance in the 16th frame. He will be hoping for one big opportunity in the decider.
TRUMP 7-8 LISOWSKI (66-0)
Jack sticks up red trying to escape from the snooker, and looks for all the world now like we are heading for a deciding frame for the £100,000 first prize.
TRUMP 7-8 LISOWSKI (39-0)
Like in previous frame, Trump hits a lead of 30 before downing red and black. Sizing up another red which is canned before he goes back to baulk. Rolls up behind green. Break declared on 38.
TRUMP 7-8 LISOWSKI (24-0)
Trump rolls in red and pink to continue this visit to the table. Trying to force this decider with a one big-visit contribution. Jackpot hoping for an error by Trump.
TRUMP 7-8 LISOWSKI (4-0)
Error by Jack in catching a red too thick. Chance for Judd to get hand on table to score.
