Wildcard Round
In the preliminary "Wildcard round", the three wildcard players were drawn against the players seeded 14th, 15th and 16th: During the course of his match against Anthony Hamilton, Ding Junhui became the 28th and youngest ever player to score a maximum 147 break on live television. Aged 19 years and nine months, he broke the previous record set by Ronnie O'Sullivan in 1997 by almost three years. This was also just the second maximum in the history of the Masters.
