Mark Selby left Hammad Miah extremely frustrated in a scrappy contest as he took a 4-2 victory to reach the last 16 at the Northern Ireland Open.

Ronnie O'Sullivan could not believe his luck as David Grace got very lucky with a wild fluke in what was a huge moment at the Northern Ireland Open.

There are several timeless yarns about Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and his endless confrontations with officialdom from the sporting vaults which, like his old mucker Jimmy White potting balls for fun on the snooker table, tend to get better with age. One, in particular, remains pure genius amid the hell-raising Hurricane's legendary Guinness guzzling of yesteryear. Ad Ireland's evergreen 1997 world champion Ken Doherty faced Higgins in what turned out to be the Hurricane's final match at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in 1994, the scene of his totemic second world triumph in 1982 and that swashbuckling do-or-die run of 69 against White in an epic 16-15 semi-final win.

Ad White stuck a finger up towards the referee, which appeared to be his index finger, only to be given a warning by Williams for his conduct.
