With the score at 6-6 in the final session, the Jester from Leicester managed to seize control and take the final three frames to secure the victory.

In doing so, Selby also took home the huge £100,000 jackpot.

And he vowed to spend some of the money on a new Kindle for his daughter, Sofia.

Selby's wife, Vikki, and daughter were both in attendance at Venue Cymru for the event.

After the match, he said: "The red I missed she (Sofia) probably would have potted that as well. I'll get one [a Kindle] if she wants.

"The clearance Stephen made, it was ridiculous, one of the best clearances I have seen. But it didn't surprise me."

Speaking to BBC Sport, he also explained: "Obviously I'm delighted.

"It's great to see Stephen back in finals, four years is way too long, he's a class act and I'm one of his biggest fans.

"This week I won a lot of key frames when I've been 40 or 50 points behind, that's been the difference."

Meanwhile, Maguire said: "I had a good week, I've enjoyed myself, and I have just come up short in the end.
