Maguire Storms Into The Second Round

Stephen Maguire went close to a 147 break on his way to wrapping up victory over Anthony Hamilton at The Crucible.

The Scot resumed 8-1 up after a superb first session on Wednesday, but Hamilton was in no mood to buckle as a 102 break helped him back to 8-3.

However, Maguire hit back with a break of 112 - missing a tough 15th red - and then sealed the match aided by a 63.
