Marco Fu progressed into the snooker event finals of the Hong Kong Masters.

Home favourite Marco Fu sealed his spot in the finals of Hong Kong Masters after delivering a clean sweep to John Higgins.

Marco Fu made a stunning 147 break in the deciding frame of his Hong Kong Masters semi-final against John Higgins to entertain a world record crowd of over 5,000.
