Former UK Snooker Championship winner TOSSES cue in frustration during Shoot Out defeat
JIMMY WHITE tossed his cue in frustration during his Snooker Shoot Out defeat on Wednesday.
The former UK Snooker Championship winner missed a routine blue to allow Zak Surety to win their round one clash.
White had a chance to win before clipping the edge of the pocket on his way to a 62-43 loss.
After missing the shot, the Whirlwind looked on in disbelief before tossing his cue onto the table.
He quickly picked it back up before walking away to allow Surety to take his shot.
Surety was able to pot the blue to claim victory and progress to round two in Swansea.
Despite his frustration at missing, White still shook his opponents hand at the end of the match.
This year’s Snooker Shoot Out got underway in Swansea on Wednesday and will run until Saturday.
However, White will not be involved any further after his opening round exit.
The 61-year-old has enjoyed an impressive career, having won the UK Snooker Championship.

He is also a six-time World Championship finalist, including five times in a row between 1990 and 1994, but failed to win a single time.
Once ranked second in the world, White is now number 124 in the world rankings but has still tasted success in recent years.
He won the most recent of his four World Seniors Championships back in May to add to his 10 ranking event triumphs in his career.
