Ignacio Buse - Francesco Passaro

Yan Bingtao is into the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions after overcoming Mark Selby in a gruelling battle at the University of Bolton Stadium. Selby attempted to grind down his opponent in what was dubbed "the granite derby", but it was 21-year-old from China who came out on top on Wednesday evening, producing a tournament high break of 140 en route to the final four.
