SCOTS snooker star John Higgins crashed out the 888sport.com Six Reds World Championship last night - after losing to a woman.
Reanne Evans made a superb 51 break in the deciding frame to rack up an amazing 4-3 victory over Scotland's leading player in Killarney, Ireland.
A tired-looking Higgins had lost the UK Championship Final to Ding Junhui in Telford just 48 hours earlier and failed to find his top form in the Super 6s format.
Evans, the reigning woman's world champion, said: "This is my best-ever win. John is world champion, provisional world No.1 and one of snooker's greatest players."
In another surprise result at the INEC arena, 2008 Shanghai Masters champion Ricky Walden was beaten 4-3 by Ireland's Declan Brennan.
