Some of the maddest scenes you are likely to see in professional snooker happened at the Masters yesterday evening, when a wasp interrupted a first round game between Mark Williams and David Gilbert.
With Willliams up 5-2 in the first to six match, the Wasp began to cause havoc, and Williams, ever the joker, managed to turn the incident into a pantomime.
Williams showed incredible nerve and composure, however, to come back from a sizeable deficit to take the frame and the match.
He will now face the world no. 2 Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter-finals, who easily brushed aside Luca Brecel in a 6-1 first round win.
