THE 28th Benson & Hedges Masters, the longest running sponsorship in the snooker calendar, will take place from February 3-10, at the Wembley Conference Centre, with an overall prize fund of £695,000.

Plus two tickets to one of the quarter-final matches.

We also have pairs of tickets available to five runner-ups.

Those lucky enough to have seen last year's final witnessed a thrilling encounter between two tournament out-siders, Irishman Fergal O'Brien and Paul Hunter. O'Brien, with a seemingly unbeatable lead, lost his way after the mid-session break allowing Hunter to take his first Benson & Hedges Masters title.

This year's competition will feature all the top players in the current world rankings, including current World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan and two wild card entries Ryan Day and the legendary Steve Davis, three times a Masters champion.

The winner will receive the magnificent Benson & Hedges Masters trophy and a cheque for £190,000.
