Paul Hunter completed the World Championship last eight line-up with his crushing 13-6 victory over stablemate Matthew Stevens.

Leeds-based Hunter needed just 45 minutes to put the Welshman out of his misery after resuming with a 12-4 lead.

It is the first time Stevens has failed to reach the quarter-finals since 1997.

The final session had to be delayed as Ken Doherty and Graeme Dott slugged it out for more than nine hours in their second round match.

In contrast Hunter and Stevens zipped through their match in half the time.

Doherty, who defeated Shaun Murphy 10-9 on the last black in the first round, now plays John Higgins but must be back at the table at 10am today.
