Semi-final day! Ad It's going to be a great day as we watch the last four remaining players do battle for a spot in the final. As a reminder these games have moved to be best of eleven, with previous rounds being best of nine. European MastersHawkins dumps out Trump to set up Williams showdown12 HOURS AGO Kyren Wilson v Ali Carter leads us off before we get Barry Hawkins v Mark Williams.
Barry Hawkins produced a golden performance to beat Judd Trump 5-3 to set up a semi-final showdown with Mark Williams at the European Masters. The loss comes after Trump suffered an almighty scare against Farakh Ajaib in the third round at the Stadthalle Furth in Furth.

Ronnie O'Sullivan insists his ability to manage anxiety, stress and expectation levels have been key to his snooker success story rather than raw natural ability. O'Sullivan claimed his seventh world title in May with an 18-14 final win over Judd Trump that saw him equal Stephen Hendry's 1990s Crucible haul.
