Ronnie O'Sullivan made his 900th career century break as he booked his place in the final of the Champion of Champions with a 6-2 victory over Anthony Hamilton.
Hamilton edged the first two frames, but breaks of 124, 74 and 109 - the 900th century break of his career - in successive games put world number seven O'Sullivan 3-2 in front.
Hamilton, ranked 26th in the world, looked on course to claim the seventh game only to miss a straightforward red and allow O'Sullivan back into the frame.
O'Sullivan secured a spot in his fourth Champion of Champions final with a break of 78 in the eighth game and he is Sky Bet's 4/11 favourite to lift the trophy on Sunday.
The two other semi-finalists - Shaun Murphy and Luca Brecel who play on Saturday night - are both available at 9/2.
He told ITV4: "I'm really pleased to get through. I know how good he can be. If I miss I know he can clean up.
"At 2-0 down I was just thinking, 'life's good, you've got plenty going on ...' but that made me relax and it came good."
