Clinical from Trump who wins the first frame 74-12.
He looks ready for this, and Slesser might do well to hang on in there.
Trump delivers a 40 break, before opting for a safety.
Earlier, Slesser missed an easy red that allowed Trump to assert his authority on the frame.
Costly, that.
These two have faced each other six times in their careers.
Trump has five victories to his name, and Slesser just the one.
However, Slesser won last time out – at the 2021 British Open in the last-32.
Who will prevail next?
KYREN WILSON has said he will prepare for Sunday’s Northern Ireland Open final by sinking pints of Guinness and scrolling through Halloween snaps.
Speaking after beating Pang Junxu, Wilson said: “I plan to make the most of the famous Belfast Guinness.
“I will go out and have a couple with my brother and mum.
“I think the family have a Halloween party at home, so I am looking forward to seeing some pictures of their costumes. I hope they can make it for the final.”
Wilson prevails, despite a steady comeback from Pang with a stunning break of 83.
He is through to his 16th ranking event final, and will play either Judd Trump or Elliot Slessor.
That gets underway at 7pm.
