Local Mark Selby beat China’s Ding Junhui 10-2 to reach the final of the Tour Championship in Manchester on Saturday.
Selby went into the evening session leading 6-2, and expanded his edge in the first frame with a break of 104, before he took another frame to go up 8-2.
The world number three then chalked up breaks of 54 and 58 in the next two frames, while Ding let his chances slip away.
