Mark Davis eventually worked his way back to making it 4-3 then 30-minutes later making it 4-4, giving the crowd something to look forward to, even though the expressions on there faces thinking this match should of been done and dusted hours ago, assuming Mark Selby though the same. It all came down to the final frame, and after countless plays of safety shots, missed long pots and flukes. Mark Davis missed a chance to give Mark Selby the lead in the frame and eventually interrupted Mark Selby's play to concede the match and thus taking Mark Selby into the next round of the 2014 Masters Championship.
