The Rocket Shortens To Land Title In Ally Pally

The 2015 Masters continues at the Alexandra Palace and reigning champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan, is now 11/10 to retain his title.

O’Sullivan, who equalled Stephen Hendry’s all-time centuries record of 775 as he defeated Ricky Walden 6-4 on Tuesday, was as big as 15/8 to win the tournament prior to it commencing. O’Sullivan’s nearest rival in the betting is Neil Robertson at 5/1.

As far as punters are concerned it’s Ronnie O’Sullivan who is the one to beat in the tournament. He is now a massive liability in the book and continues to attract support.

2012 beaten finalist Shaun Murphy is next in the betting at 7/1 to go all the way having been installed at 16/1 prior to the tournament commencing with 2011 champion, Ding Junhui, priced at 15/2 to win the tournament for a second time.
