World number one O'Sullivan established a lead in the afternoon session that he did not relinquish until Selby won the penultimate frame to take the match into a decider.
Selby, winner here in 2008, has a reputation for winning deciding frames and again held his nerve impressively to claim the £150,000 prize money.
O'Sullivan had earlier eased himself into the contest after losing a scrappy opening frame.
The 34-year-old was disgusted with himself for a poor positional shot in the second frame but an unfortunate in-off from Selby led to a break of 56 for O'Sullivan
