Defending champion Mark Selby eased to victory in Group Four of BetVictor Championship League Snooker Invitational to secure a place in next month's Winners' Group.
Selby will join Hossein Vafaei, Si Jiahui, Kyren Wilson and three more players in the Winner's Group in February when the title and a place in the 2025 Champion of Champions will be at stake.
Stuart Bingham finished top of the group phase with five wins out of six, followed by Selby and Joe O'Connor with four apiece, than Jak Jones with three. In the semi-finals, Selby won a Leicester derby against O'Connor with a top break of 120, while Jones came from 2-1 down to beat Bingham 3-2 with 139 and 113 in the last two frames. Selby then dominated the final, beating Jones 3-0 with breaks of 84, 134 and 80.
Bingham, Jones, O’Connor and Matthew Selt advance to Group Five, where they will join world number one Judd Trump, Neil Robertson and Tom Ford. The action resumes on Monday, 20th January.
