SNOOKER star Mark Allen launched a ball across the table and stormed off in frustration at the German Masters.<br /><br />The Englishman, 37, trailed 62-11 in the sixth frame of a best-of-nine match against Thailand's Manasawin Phetmalaikul when he attempted to pot a fairly routine black.<br /><br />But the World No3 missed by a long way, sparking a furious reaction.<br /><br />As the black bounced between the jaws of the pocket, Allen threw one of the red balls across the table.<br /><br />He then conceded the frame, which he could still have won, by storming off in a fit of rage as Phetmalaikul levelled things up at 3-3 in the pre-tournament qualifier.<br /><br />Allen, a two-time UK Championship winner and 2018 Masters champion, ended up edging the match 5-4 with a break of 100 in the deciding frame to book his spot in the last 64.<br /><br />But his actions in the sixth frame led many snooker fans to speculate that he could be set to receive a punishment.<br /><br />One said: "Fine incoming."<br /><br />While another responded: "Think he was given a warning on return too."<br /><br />And a third replied: "What’s the matter with players at the mo? They’re all at this ♂️."<br /><br />Allen's recovery to win the match has earned him a clash with Louis Heathcote in the first round of the main draw.<br /><br />But other high-profile names failed to make it through qualifying in Berlin.<br /><br />Reigning world champion Luca Brecel was beaten 5-2 by India's Ishpreet Singh Chadha.<br /><br />Shaun Murphy also suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Xu Si, while Marco Fu stunned four-time world champion Mark Selby.<br />
