Defending champion Stuart Bingham held off a Thepchaiya Un-Nooh fight-back to win 6-4 in the first round of the Masters.
At 5-1 up and on for a maximum 147 break, a Bingham foul sparked a revival from the Thai debutant.
Un-Nooh reeled off three frames in quick succession, compiling breaks of 80 and 113 before the Englishman sealed a nervy victory.
Bingham will meet Shaun Murphy or Mark Williams in the last eight.
