Dafabet Masters

The 2014 Dafabet Masters was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 12–19 January 2014 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England. This was the first time that Dafabet sponsored the event.

Ronnie O'Sullivan set a new record by scoring 556 unanswered points in a professional event in his 6–0 quarter-final win against Ricky Walden - winning in just 58 minutes. The previous record-holder was Ding Junhui, who scored 495 unanswered points against Stephen Hendry at the 2007 Premier League Snooker.

O'Sullivan set another record by reaching his tenth Masters final, surpassing the nine appearances by Hendry, and won his fifth Masters title by defeating defending champion Mark Selby 10–4. This was the third time these two players had met in a Masters final.
