As a result, the Chinese superstar left the competition with an impressive £175,000 in winnings.
For Junhui to secure another significant payday by the end of the tournament, he may need to defeat Jack Lisowski and the World No. 1, both of whom are also competing.
Neil Robertson, the 2025 Saudi Snooker Masters champion, is also in contention, along with the seven-time World Champion, who aims to improve upon his quarter-final exit at the Xi’an Grand Prix in October.
