Four-time champion John Higgins claimed a comfortable 13-7 win over Noppon Saengkham to move into the quarter-finals of the World Championship.
Resuming at 11-5, the Scot won the first frame of the day on the black after a break of 62 to extend his lead.
However, Thailand’s Saengkham responded with breaks of 70 and 112 before the Scot sealed his win with a run of 90.
Higgins will face Neil Robertson or Jack Lisowski in the last eight on Tuesday.
Australia’s Robertson, who won the title in 2010 and arrived in Sheffield as the tournament favourite, currently trails his English opponent 9-7, with their second-round meeting set to conclude on Monday evening.
