Mark Selby claimed his fourth World Championship title with an 18-15 victory over Shaun Murphy at a sold-out Crucible Theatre. Selby, who led 14-11 prior to the final session, is now three Crucible crowns off Stephen Hendry's record of seven. Selby, 37, collects £500,000 in prize money and moves up to second in the world behind Judd Trump. Having been perched at the top of the world rankings during the period in which he claimed three world titles in four years, Selby's dominance once looked unquestionable. With the coach of both players Henry an intrigued spectator, Selby had earlier maintained his control of the match in Monday afternoon's session.
