Judd Trump defeated Shaun Murphy to reach the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions in Bolton.

A quality contest saw Trump fight back from 3-1 down to claim a 6-4 victory and set up a last-four meeting with Barry Hawkins.

Murphy made the perfect start with a century break in the opening frame and hit three more half centuries in the next three frames.

But it was Trump who moved to the brink of victory by claiming four frames in a row.

Murphy stopped the rot to close the gap to 5-4 but Trump finished the contest in style with a 107 break.
