Mark Selby and Neil Robertson are among the players in contention for the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out title on the final day in Leicester.
There will be a new name on the trophy at the Mattioli Arena, where the remaining 32 players will aim to become the 15th different winner in as many editions of the unique single-frame tournament on Saturday.
World number three Selby is the highest ranked player still standing, and will hope to delight his home crowd by going one step better than his run to the 2021 final.
The Jester goes up against Jamie Jones, while another Leicester cueist Tom Ford takes on Duane Jones.
Selby is one of four top-16 players remaining, along with Ali Carter, who plays Liam Graham, while Zhang Anda and Si Jiahui face left-handers in Elliot Slessor and Martin O’Donnell respectively.
Robertson opens the final day of the tournament against Liam Pullen, with the Australian looking to go all the way in his quest to quickly return to the world’s top 16.
Robert Milkins knows what it takes to go deep in this event, having been runner-up to Nigel Bond in 2011. The Milkman plays Haydon Pinhey, while 2020 runner-up Zhou Yuelong takes on Florian Nüßle.
Crowd favourite Noppon Saengkham and English Open finalist Wu Yize face Welsh opposition in Dylan Emery and Liam Davies, as 16-year-old Vladislav Gradinari looks to continue his fairy-tale run against Poland’s Antoni Kowalski.
India’s Kreishh Gurbaxani, who had only won one match during his first season on the pro tour prior to this event, aims to build on his ground-breaking week when he locks horns with Ashley Carty, as former Championship League winner David Gilbert plays Huang Jiahao.
Former European Masters champion Fan Zhengyi goes head to head with Robbie Williams, while Andrew Higginson and Aaron Hill take on Ma Hailong and Allan Taylor respectively.
Play gets under way at 7pm GMT on Saturday with all matches contested over a single 10-minute frame at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester.
