Mark Selby is the last remaining player to have tasted a victory in the final at The Crucible, but he is under immense pressure from the likes of Mark Allen to go all the way.

Chinese debutant Si Jiahui and Luca Brecel have reached uncharted territory for them and the coming days will be fascinating to watch unfold.

Beyond the glory of hoisting the World Snooker Championship trophy aloft, players are duelling for increasingly huge slices of the prize money pie.

The prize fund remains stable with a massive £500,000 cheque on offer for the ultimate champion at The Crucible in Sheffield.

Those already dispatched from the tournament will be compensated, but for those who remain, the stakes have become progressively higher.
