John Higgins won the tournament last year.

Mark Selby cruised into the second round of the UK Championship with an easy 6-0 victory over Ryan Day at York's Barbican Centre.

Selby is the world number one, and will play either Stuart Bingham or Marco Fu in the second round.

Elsewhere, five-time champion Stephen Hendry slumped to a 6-3 defeat to Stephen Maguire, 2.75 to beat John Higgins in the second round. Higgins is 1.44 to win the contest.

The 42-year-old was level at 3-3 until Maguire took the initaive in the seventh frame by building a break of 134.

Don't forget all of the fantastic markets we have to offer, including In-Play betting, can be accessed on your mobile phone with the new and improved Mobile at bet365.

Defending champion Higgins was pushed all the way by Rory McLeod though, eventually clinching a 6-5 victory. The 36-year-old fell 4-2 behind but held his nerve to win the next three frames before winning the decider.

Two-time champion Ding Junhui fought back from 2-0 down to beat Mark Davis 6-5 while Graeme Dott defeated Matthew Selt 6-1 and Neil Robertson saw off Tom Ford by the same scoreline.
