The absence of world number one Judd Trump left the competition open, with several favourites including Kyren Wilson, Neil Robertson and Mark Selby suffering early eliminations.
Yesterday saw last year's winner Stuart Bingham knocked out at the semi-final stage, following a tense clash with China's Yan Bingtao, who now proceeds to play Scotland's John Higgins (with an eye-watering £250,000 up for grabs).
Their matches will be shown live across Eurosport and BBC platforms, and we're here to help you make sense of it all to soak up every moment possible.
