Maguire cashes in on his luck

Stephen Maguire made it third time lucky at the Crucible Theatre today as he reached the second round of the 888.com World Championship with a 10-6 victory over Mark King.

The fourth seed was unlucky to be drawn against Ronnie O’Sullivan on his two previous visits to Sheffield and lost both times, although last year he pushed the ‘Rocket’ to a deciding frame.
