The prestigious tournament is now into the Quarter finals; with only 8 of the original 16 players left who now has what it takes to battle it out through the final few days of the tournament?

Ronnie O’Sullivan is one of several big names to have survived, and after dispatching of Joe Perry, faces Allie Carter in the Quarters. Ronnie’s odds to win the tournament have been cut from 3/1 before the tournament to 2/1 (Stan James) today. Congratulations to everyone who got their bets on early for Ronnie, those odds will surely be slashed again if the Rocket gets through his quarter final so it’s not too late for any other potential punters to get involved.

Mark Selby is another favourite and if the current Masters champion gets past Mark Allen in the quarter finals his odds of 9/2 (totesport) will represent really good value, alternatively even odds from Coral for Selby to reach the final also look fairly safe.

Outsiders to keep an eye on are Neil Robertson and Ding Junhui. Aussie Robertson having dispatched of Stephen Hendry in rugged fashion is now only 8/1 to win his first Masters with totesport. Ding Junhui will already have provided payday for anybody who backed him to progress further than fellow China man Marco Fu and anybody backing him to win the Masters will enjoy odds of 13/2 from most bookmakers (totesport, Boylesports, PaddyPower).

This year’s Masters is still hunting it’s elusive 147 break, with the tournament over half way through will we witness the maximum break at odds of 4/1 (Skybet)?

Take into consideration that only two players have ever achieved this feat during the Masters 34 year history, but also take into account that one of those breaks was made in 2007 by Mr. Ding Junhui.
