Champion of Champions snooker prize money: How much can Robertson and Allen win in final?
The Champion of Champions final will be contested by Neil Robertson and Mark Allen - but how much can the snooker stars earn?
Champion of Champions: Neil Robertson pots impressive shot
The Champion of Champions tournament has been whittled down to the final two players. Defending champion Neil Robertson booked his place in the showpiece after a thrilling 6-5 win over Mark Selby, while Mark Allen thrashed Judd Trump 6-1 in the other semi-final.
Robertson and Selby's high-quality match saw them trade six centuries in seven frames.
The Leicester man nudged into a one-frame lead three times before a surge from Robertson put him 5-4 ahead.
Selby then forced a decider what turned out to be a more calculated affair, with the Australian missing the first opportunity before gratefully taking his second chance.
Following a tense quarter-final showdown against Ronnie O'Sullivan on Thursday, Allen's victory against Trump was much more comfortable.

The Northern Irishman stormed to a 4-0 lead before the world No 1 pulled a frame back with a break of 80.
Allen, though, edged the next frame to ensure his place in Sunday's showdown.
"Mark seems like he’s coming back into some really good form," Robertson said ahead of his title defence.
"He was probably the best player in the world a couple of years ago when he got to the final of the UK.
"[He] beat me in the final of the International, won the Scottish and he seems to be getting back to that form."
He added: "Mark is capable of playing the most unbelievable snooker I’ve ever seen so snooker fans are in for a treat."
The Champion of Champions final will be contested in a best-of-19 match.
But the prestigious trophy isn't the only thing Robertson and Allen are competing for as there is also plenty of prize money up for grabs.
