One key name is missing the two day event, however, after Ronnie O’Sullivan pulled out of the competition before his group had even ended.
The world No1 played in Group Seven of the snooker Champions League at the end of February, beating Sam Craigie and Elliot Slessor 3-2 in his first two matches.
But in his third match, he lost 3-0 to Jak Jones before a 3-2 defeat to Joe O’Connor in his next game.
O’Sullivan had two scheduled matches remaining but tournament organisers confirmed that the Rocket had withdrawn.
