ALI Carter has won his first professional tournament since beating his battle with cancer.
The Colchester-born potter, who grew up in Tiptree, defeated Shaun Murphy 4-3 in the final of the Paul Hunter Classic.
It was a Kreativ Dental Clinic European Tour event and the 36-year-old held his nerve to win an exciting final in Fürth, Germany.
Carter beat testicular cancer in 2013, as well as a tumour on his lung last year which required several cycles of chemotherapy to overcome.
