Dream comes true for Dott

Queen fan Graeme Dott could have been forgiven for thinking: ‘Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy?’ after winning his first 888.com World Championship crown in a marathon final with Peter Ebdon.

Dott was an 80-1 outsider at the start of the tournament but his wish to be taken more seriously will be realised after triumphing 18-14 and collecting the £200,000 (€290,000) first prize.
