Some high profile names fell today with the likes of John Higgins, Mark Allen, Luca Brecel and Jimmy White all failing to reach the last 16.Four matches are scheduled over the next few hours as we complete the remainder of Round 2.
62-41 is the final score in the second frame - and it's an uphill battle now for four-time world champ Higgins.Higgins and Hawkins are struggling to find a winner in a tense second frame, with the Englishman currently leading 47-41. That will be a blow for the Belfast faithful who would have wanted their man to make a deeper run than the last 32.He is currently 57 behind with just 51 left on the table - he needs to try and play himself in and draw a couple of fouls out of Lines.
As well as the final frames from these two matches, we've still got six more games tonight with John Higgins waiting for a table to open up.
