The Masters

Defending champion Yan Bingtao is out after losing 6-4 to Mark Williams.
The Welshman stormed back from 3-1 down to win 5 out of the last 6 frames.

In the evening session Neil Robertson prevailed 6-3 against Anthony McGill.

Rood giddance, you might say.

John Higgins has swiftly seen off Zhao Xintong 6-2 to reach the quarter finals.

Higgins' closing break to seal the match was superb; cushion shots, rest shots, in position, out of position, a glorious exhibition of skill.

Barry Hawkins is through after a 6-2 win over Shaun Murphy.

The lesser of 2 evils

Poor old Murphy, it seems he can't amateurs or professionals these days.
He should join John Higgins at his spin class.
