Snooker Players Championship: Selby blocked O'Sullivan and entered the semi-finals. "Rocket"'s 16-game winning streak was ended.

Mark Allen, ranked third in the world, won as expected. The last quarter-final will be held on the next match day, with this season's Tianjin International Championship champion and Chinese player Zhang Anda challenging four-time World Championship champion John Higgins. In the first round, Chinese snooker's "big brother" Ding Junhui was eliminated by "Wizard" Higgins.
