Snooker: Doherty still waiting for Masters trophy

Two-time runner-up Ken Doherty suffered another Benson & Hedges Masters heartbreak when he fell at the first hurdle against fellow Irishman Fergal O'Brien at Wembley.

Doherty - beaten finalist in 1999 and 2000 - went down 6-3 to his pal and practice partner, who avenged a recent defeat at the Welsh Open in Cardiff.
