Just hours after Ronnie O'Sullivan's brilliant clearance against Mark Williams, Hendry potted 14 reds and 14 blacks in the fourth frame of his quarter-final with Welshman Day.

The Scot looked to have done all the hard work with a brilliant black with the rest a few shots earlier but missed the final red to end his chances of sharing the £147,000 bonus for a maximum and £10,000 for the highest break of the tournament.

The break of 112 was still enough to give the seven-time champion a 3-1 lead at the mid-session interval after Day had taken the opening frame with a break of 66.

Hendry then took the remaining four frames as well to open up a commanding six-frame advantage ahead of the evening session, where the 39-year-old will need six of the eight frames to win with a session to spare.

On the other table, Peter Ebdon and Ali Carter were locked at 4-4 after their opening session.

O'Sullivan was back in action on the same table where he made his 147, but quickly found himself 2-0 down to Chinese debutant Liang Wenbo in the quarter-finals.

O'Sullivan failed to pot a single ball as Liang, who beat Joe Swail 13-12 in a thriller last night, compiled breaks of 80, 48 and 49 to keep the two-time world champion sat in his chair. However, the Rocket hit back with breaks of 109 and 58 to level at 2-2 at the mid-session interval.

A break of 71 gave O'Sullivan the lead at 3-2 but Liang maintained his fearless approach and fired in breaks of 104 and 89 to edge back in front before O'Sullivan took the final frame of the session with a run of 64 to level at 4-4.

Stephen Maguire and Joe Perry were level at 4-4 in their quarter-final.
