World number one Judd Trump moved into the quarter-finals of the Masters after making three century breaks in a 6-2 win over Ding Junhui at Alexandra Palace.
Two-time Masters champion Trump has now triumphed in five consecutive matches against Ding, who won this title in 2011.
The Englishman crafted breaks of 116 and 69 as he raced into a 3-0 lead before China's Ding responded with runs of 98 and 53 to reduce his arrears to a solitary frame.
However, Trump re-established a two-frame cushion with a run of 88 and then compiled a wonderful 117 before sealing victory with a break of 109.
Trump will face Northern Ireland's Mark Allen in the last eight, with that contest due to be played on Thursday at 19:00 GMT.
All seven matches played so far at this year's Masters have now ended 6-2, while Trump also defeated Ding by the same score at the UK Championship in December.
