Yan got through in a decider; potentially the youngest Masters champ in a long while.

Tense old battle in progress between Higgins and Gilbert.

Higgins wins 6-4.

Youth vs Experience. Higgins' first Masters final since 2006, apparently.

Yan has a good poker face, claimeth Hendry. Why not say "ah honourable Chinaman is inscrutable" and have done with it?

Higgins leads 5-3 after the first session.

What a fantastic first frame of tonight's session. Some break from Yan to make a 67 and win on a re-spotted black, quality.

I'm watching this live now. It concludes this evening.
Debutant Yan Bingtao is on a role and the commentators seem to favour his chances over those of John Higgins.

Its the Ice in the veins youngster Yan v Never write him off Higgins going at it.
Tough, tense matchplay snooker.

Yan Bingtao is the Masters champion after a 10-8 victory over John Higgins.

Fair play to him, he got it done. Another tournament where Ding goes out early and another Chinese guy steps up instead.

BBC already plugging this, which doesn't start 'til next week.
