Mark Selby 6 - 5 Mark Allen
In the first quarter final, current Masters champion Mark Selby took on Mark Allen.
This was the best match of the tournament so far, with both players scoring heavily. Coming from 2- 4 down, Selby put his foot down to level at 5 - 5.
In the final frame decider, Selby fluked a red while escaping from a snooker, but couldn’t take the advantage and let Allen back in. Allen then missed a red, probably due to nerves.
In the last frame, I feel Allen pushed the boat out too far and took on too many long shots. He could of won the match with slightly less aggressive play. But that’s the way most players play the game today.
Selby will now play John Higgins in the semi final.
Highest Breaks:
Selby 81, 57, 92, 120, 104
Allen 47, 74, 88, 48, 57, 104
