Williams got out to a hot start, going up 3-0 inside of 40 minutes on breaks of 126, 127, & 95. Williams increased his advantage to 4-0 in frame four with the help of a great pot on the last red along the side cushion. Gilbert started after the break with a burst of 59 to cut the deficit. In frame six, Williams was ahead 42-0 when he missed a short-range red to the top corner, and Gilbert retaliated by making an outstanding 80 clearance. Williams laid a challenging snooker, converted a mid-range pot on the red, and cleared for 5-2 to win the seventh after it came down to a safety exchange on the last red. While Gilbert missed two opportunities at the yellow when he had a 22-point lead in frame eight, Williams punished him by clearing to emerge victorious.
In the other match of Tuesday, Mark Allen clashed against Barry Hawkins with bookmakers labelling him as the overwhelming favorite for this match. However, the match outcome turned out to be a very contrasting one as Hawkins dominated from the very start and despite few moments of brilliance by Allen, he suffered a humiliating loss by score of 0-6.
All matches, barring the championship, will be best-of-11 frames, under the 2023 Masters’ rules. But the best-of-19-frames system will be used in the championship game to select the victor. Along with the famous trophy, the tournament winner will receive a substantial prize of £250,000.
