Jimmy White was sent crashing out of The Masters by Mark King on Sunday, with many prompting the question as to whether or not the ‘Whirlwind’ will ever grace Wembley again.

White, who was handed a wildcard for the event, went down 6-2 to the world number 16 and admitted afterwards that he felt “sickened” by the defeat.

White entered the Wembley Arena to the sound of Money for Nothing by Dire Straits, as part of Barry Hearn’s plan to add a touch of fun to snooker…

Mark Selby made light work of Ding Junhui in the second round of The Masters at Wembley, running out a comprehensive 6-1 winner.

Selby, who won The Masters in 2008, capitalised on some play from the Chinese sensation as he raced to 5-0 lead. Ding pulled one frame back, but Selby was not to be denied and closed the game out in the next to book his place in the quarter-finals.

The Jester from Leicester, who had to overcome an over excitable PA system during the match, will now face John Higgins or Mark Allen.
