SHAUN MURPHY left the Champion of Champions in awe with a sublime shot against Jimmy Robertson.
Defending champion Murphy overcame his counterpart 4-2 in the opening round of the tournament at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
And he started to go to the second frame.
The clip – aired on ITV 4 – shows the 36-year-old eyeing up a red which is resting on the left-sided cushion.
Despite the tricky placement of the red, Murphy manages to fire into the top-left pocket.
"What a pot that is," the commentator says the shot goes in.
His co-pundit adds: "That was fantastic was not it, a bit more like it."

The Champion of Champions features 16 players, with eight seeded and eight not.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is favorite to win the £ 100,000 prize money on Sunday's final.
Ladbrokes make him a 5/2 shot with Judd Trump second-favorite at 6/1.
Murphy's shot is the only sublime move that has gone viral in recent weeks.
Trump stunned Zhao Xintong with what many called the shot of the English Open last month.
