ALI Carter's World Championship dream is over for another year after being knocked out by Mark Selby.
The Colchester-born potter lost 13-9 in his second-round match, at The Crucible, in Sheffield.
Carter, who grew up in Tiptree, said: "It was a tough match.
"I fought to the death but unfortunately it didn't go my way."
