Higgins, Selby, Williams all defeated in Shootout
Several big names lost on day two of the PartyPoker.com Snooker Shootout in Blackpool on Saturday.
World champion John Higgins was among those missing out, falling to Mark Allen in the final match of the night.
The quickfire matches whittled the competition down to just 16 by the end of the day, with Higgins going down 67-34 after Allen took control with a decisive break of 55.
World number one Mark Selby was also sent packing in a scrappy match with Dominic Dale, who was a 31-22 winner after Selby botched a tricky red in the closing minute.
The well-fancied world number two Mark Williams suffered a similar fate, beaten 50-28 by Barry Pinches following a match-winning break worth 45.
Former world champion Stephen Hendry was beaten 69-30 by Gerard Greene after apparently forgetting a rule about safety shots having to hit cushions, with a similar problem seemingly accounting for Matthew Selt, who was defeated 63-39 by Tom Ford.
Liang Wenbo, the only remaining non-Briton in the competition, will be confident of his chances after a controlled break saw him claim a 54-0 success over Matthew Stevens.
Stephen Lee will also be in high spirits as he heads into the last 16 after he compiled the only century of the weekend so far in his 121-6 beating of Ricky Walden.
Other winners included Jamie Jones, Dave Harold, Mark Davis, Stephen Maguire, Graeme Dott, Robert Milkins, Ryan Day, Barry Hawkins and Martin Gould. - http://www1.skysports.com/
