Stephen Maguire and Neil Robertson reached the Masters quarter-finals, both with 6-4 wins at Alexandra Palace.

Judd Trump capitulated against Maguire having won the first two frames.

World number one Robertson was made to work hard against Robert Milkins, after losing the opening frame.

Australian Robertson, who last won the Masters title in 2012, recorded three successive frames to seal victory.

In the earlier game, 25-year-old Trump watched Maguire win four consecutive frames which included a break of 96.

World number seven Trump levelled, but let the Scot back in.

After fighting back to go 5-4 ahead, Maguire was gifted the chance for victory - which he took with a run of 64  in the 10th frame when Trump missed a simple black off the spot as he focused on shattering the pack of reds to all corners.
