But there was a brilliant moment that had everyone giggling during a Bingham break.
The Basildon potter walked around the table away from the cue ball.
And then he leant forward and carefully picked up a stray hair from the baize.
Bald Bingham lifted the hair gently into the air before flicking it away on to the floor.
Ball-Run then immediately joked: “Not mine,” before indicating that it must be his opponent Lisowski’s.
While 2015 snooker world champ Bingham may be follically-challenged, Lisowski has a full head of thick hair.
And Cheltenham’s Jack-Pot could not resist breaking out into laughter along with the fans in the stands.
The commentator then chirped: “It wasn’t one of yours, Stuart.”
