Allen clinches victory at Wembley
Mark Allen is through to the first round of the Masters at the Wembley Arena after a 6-4 win over Judd Trump in Monday's wildcard game.
The Antrim player lost the opening frame to the Englishman before storming into a 4-1 lead.
Trump made breaks of 96, 55 and 123 as he hit back to trail 5-4 but Allen held his nerve to compile a break of 70 and secure victory.
The reward for Allen is a meeting with Ryan Day of Wales on Tuesday night.
