2016 Masters (Day Three) - Rocket Ronnie gets deciding victory

Although not many have expected it the clash between Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Williams was a very balanced expose of snooker skills, though in all honesty "The Rocket" was far from his best.

But Mark didn't stop there! No way, Jose! Runs of 48, 35, 20 and 29 were not only helping him draw level, but also get into the leading role at 4-2.
At that moment O'Sullivan's killer instinct seemed to have woken up, as the Englishman fired the first century break of the match (104), followed by a 60 and a brilliant 117 clearance to take back what was his. It was 5-4.

The last frame was easily bagged by O'Sullivan with a top break of 62, this meaning that "The Rocket" gets a place in the quarter-finals.
The evening came and with it the second match of the day featuring the names of Mark Selby and Ricky Walden.

The Leicester player used breaks of 71, 113, 66, 43 and 81 to end the first session in full control at 4-0, while Walden was doomed to sit in his chair.
After the 15-minutes break the lads returned for a few more minutes for that's all it took Selby to use a top break of 83 and close the deal at 6-0.
Wednesday comes with more matches, much to my delight, as it follows:
1pm
John Higgins v. Liang Wenbo
7pm
Neil Robertson v. Marco Fu
