Earlier in the tournament, Judd Trump made his 1,000th career century during his quarter-final loss to Mark Allen.
Great Britain’s Lewis Gibson and Lilah Fear won gold in the ice dance at Skate America in the first ISU Grand Prix of the season.
The pair beat defending ISU world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates from the United States by a fraction of a point in Allen, Texas, while Spain’s Olivia Smart and Tim Dieck finished third.
In January, Gibson and Fear won silver for a second consecutive year in the ice dance at the European Figure Skating Championships.
“We were so proud to be up there on the podium. It was definitely a heartwarming moment, especially to be surrounded by our amazing team-mates,” said Fear of the other two pairs she trains alongside.
Gibson and Fear led after the rhythm dance and finished second in the free dance for an overall score of 206.38 points, with Chock and Bates second on 205.63.
The six-leg Grand Prix series continues on Friday with Skate Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Gruesome moment ice hockey star snaps bent finger back into place after punching rival numerous times in head
FANS were left squirming after an ice hockey star appeared to snap his bent finger back into place during a game.
The incident occurred during the American Hockey League clash between the Laval Rocket and Syracuse Crunch on Friday.

Rocket left wing Vincent Arseneau was left with a gruesome injury after a brawl with Crunch star Kale Kessy.
Officials had to separate the pair before either of them fell to the ice, with one of Arseneau’s fingers appearing to be bent the other way afterwards.
The 32-year-old could then be seen snapping it back into place as he made his way to the penalty box.
Despite attempting to correct his injury, the Canadian did not return to the action as his side went on to win 5-2.
He also missed the rematch between the two teams on Saturday, which the Rocket also won 1-0.
Fans were left stunned by the incident on social media after Friday’s clash.
Reacting on X, one supporter wrote: “That’s a hockey player right there.”
Another added: “Tell me you’re a hockey player without telling me you’re a hockey player.”

Meanwhile, a third fan also commented: “I did not need this visual.”
The Rocket, an affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, are in action once again this weekend.
They take on the Utica Comets at home on Friday before facing them away the following day.
It is not yet known whether Arseneau will make his return to the ice in either of those games.
With Andy Farrell set to name his Ireland squad for next month’s four Test matches on Wednesday, Stockdale is expected to be included in the panel for games against New Zealand, Argentina, Fiji and Australia.
Whether he can displace Leinster’s James Lowe on the left wing for what would be a first cap since before the last World Cup will be another matter.
Either way, Stockdale feels he has done all he can to put himself in the frame
“Whether I play or not, obviously I want to, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t really matter to a certain degree as I’m doing what I can out on the pitch at the moment.
“I feel like I’m doing everything I can to warrant getting an opportunity.
“If it doesn’t come, it doesn’t come but I’m feeling good.”
Indeed, perhaps the only way he could be preparing for Ireland camp in a better frame of mind would be if he was coming in off a career hat-trick.
Between his first and second scores against Ospreys on Friday night, he had dotted down once more only to have the try chalked off by the TMO for a forward pass after both the conversion and restart.
“I was a bit unhappy, to say the least,” he said.
“It seems a bit crazy to me to hit the conversion and hit the restart and then get brought back for the TMO.
“Where does it end? Is it going to be at a point where we’re 15 minutes later and someone says, ‘oh, that try you scored earlier doesn’t count anymore’.
“I don’t know, fair enough if it’s forward, but it needs to be called earlier.”

Arsenal fans rage ‘it’s laughable’ as Chelsea star Tosin escapes red card against Liverpool for ‘same foul’ as Saliba
ANGRY Arsenal fans claim Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo escaped a red card for an identical foul to William Saliba’s sending-off 24 hours earlier.
Adarabioyo ended Diogo Jota’s surge through at Liverpool – just like Gunners’ defender Saliba did when halting Evanilson at Bournemouth on Saturday.

But referee John Brooks only dished out a yellow card to the Blues‘ defender – a decision blasted as “laughable” by many Arsenal supporters.
One fan claimed: “No different to Saliba‘s red card yesterday, but no VAR intervention. Why? Jota was away on goal.”
Another posted: “Saliba got a red for the exact same thing yesterday?”
A third argued: “If Tosin isn’t worried that Jota is in, he wouldn’t foul him. It’s a stonewall red.”
And a fourth added: “The refs in this country are a joke.”
But supporters of other clubs hit back – insisting there was a CLEAR difference between the two incidents in the middle of the pitch.
They reckon Saliba was definitely the last man – whereas Adarabioyo’s team-mate Levi Colwill might have been able to catch Jota.
One fan wrote: “Saliba was the last man, Tosin would get a red if Colwill wasn’t in close proximity. He got bailed out by Colwill.”

Another said: “Colwill close enough, Saliba was on his own.”
And a third was even more blunt: “Teammate proximity, Never a red.”
It was Colwill who soon brought down Curtis Jones, enabling Mo Salah to slot Liverpool in front against the tide of play with a 29th-minute penalty.
That sparked the Reds’ best spell, with Cody Gakpo having a tap-in goal ruled out as his supplier Salah was ruled offside.
And in first-half stoppage time Liverpool had a second spot-kick award scrubbed out.
Brooks looked at a pitchside monitor and reversed his verdict that keeper Robert Sanchez had tripped Jones.
