Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams both chalked up wins at Wembley Arena on Monday.

2005 World champion, Murphy, beat Stephen Hendry 6-4 in what was the closest match yet of this year’s Masters, while Mark Williams overcame Rory McLeod 6-2 to book his place in round 2.

Murphy faces the winner of Mark Williams’ clash with Ali Carter next up, while for Hendry his search for a first title in 5 years goes on.

The final game of the day sees Jimmy White’s conqueror, Mark King, face world number 2 Stephen Maguire for a quarter-final berth.
