7–8, and won a tense frame 16 to tie the match. Trump won a scrappy frame 17 to lead again, before O'Sullivan won frame 18 to send the match into the final frame. In the decider, Trump secured the first chance, but his break ended at 50 points. Despite a waistcoat foul on his previous shot, O'Sullivan was given another opportunity to clear the table, but he missed the final red near the cushion rail, allowing his opponent back on the table. Trump missed the match-winning yellow close to the cushion into the green pocket, which eventually allowed O'Sullivan to clear the table to complete the comeback on the final black ball. The second semi-final was played on 22 March, between Mark Allen and Neil Robertson. Allen got off to a good start, winning the first two frames of the match including a break of 78. Robertson then won the next five frames, which included back-to-back centuries in frames four and five and a of 69 in frame seven. Allen then captured the final frame of the session to trail 3–5. The match's second session started with Robertson extending his lead to 6–3, but Allen won the next three frames with breaks of 82 and 103 to tie the match. Robertson then won the next three frames with a combined 303 points without reply. In frame 16, Allen scored enough points to take the frame to the "snookers required" stage, only to snooker himself on the final red behind the green ball, allowing Robertson to clear the table and win the match 10–6.
