Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump lose at Snooker Shoot-Out in Blackpool
Friday 6 March 2015 00:07, UK
Favourites Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump suffered shock defeats in the second round of snooker's Shoot-Out on Thursday night.
World No 2 O'Sullivan eased through the opening round in the one-frame format but failed to pot a ball against Tom Ford at the Circus Arena in Blackpool, an event being shown live on Sky Sports.
Mark Selby, the current No 1 and world champion, was a casualty on Wednesday but few would have expected both O'Sullivan and Trump to crash out and fail to make the final 16.
Bristol's Trump rarely troubled Michael White in their frame while crowd favourite and six-time world runner-up Jimmy White lost out to Kyren Wilson.
The 2013 champion Barry Hawkins beat Anthony McGill and there was another shock with Stuart Bingham defeated by Jamie Jones.
Recently crowned Senior champion and two-time world champion Mark Williams continued his good run with victory over fellow-veteran Peter Ebdon.
