Williams has €210,000 reasons to succeed

MARK WILLIAMS has €210,000 good reasons to finish as the 29th and final Benson and Hedges Masters champion at Wembley tomorrow night.

His rivals may dream about lifting the gold trophy, but money is Williams' motivation. When he meets Paul Hunter in the opening semi-final today, though, the Welsh star will also have another driving force.

Hunter recovered from 5-0 down to beat Williams 10-9 in the 2002 final, although that represents a rare success for the Yorkshireman in matches between the pair.
