Judd Trump is through to the next round of the English Open after winning 4-3 against Louis Heathcote.
Trump's first frame break of 75 suggested this would be business as usual for the world number one.
However Heathcote scrapped his way to 1-1, before breaks of 68 and then 53 put him a frame fro a huge upset.
Trump held his nerve, with a break of 86 halving the deficit before taking the sixth frame 49-13. He then hit 63 on his way to the winning frame.
Kyren Wilson is through to the second round of the English Open after a 4-2 win over Dominick Dale in Milton Keynes.

Dale pulled a frame back, but a 59 clearance on the pink was enough for Wilson to extend his lead. Dale stuck with it, though, and removed everything that was left for a run of 94 to register the highest break of the match and make it 3-2.
