The UK Snooker Championship has reached the quarter-finals stage with a firecracker showdown between Ronnie O'Sullivan and Kyren Wilson to come.
The match winner will inevitably be tipped to win the whole tournament given the number of early high-profile exits throughout the duration of the UK Championship.
O'Sullivan and Wilson are the only two remaining players from the top 13 seeds. Reigning champion Neil Robertson, world champion Mark Selby and recent former world No.1 Judd Trump have all fallen.

The tournament has also not been without controversy as Shaun Murphy blasted the inclusion of amateur players in the tournament after being knocked out by part-timer Si Jiahui in the first round.
In the aftermath of the match, he told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I feel extremely hard done by that I have lost to someone who shouldn't even be in the building."
Reigning champion Neil Robertson sympathised with Murphy's comments before he too was dumped out of the tournament by amateur player John Astley.
Former world champion Mark Williams fell asleep in his chair during the middle of a clash with Anthony Hamilton to prolong a weird and wonderful week in the world of snooker!
