Wilson will face Ronnie O'Sullivan or Barry Hawkins in the quarter-finals
Showboating Kyren Wilson spurned the chance to make history when he attempted a no-look shot on the black in his 6-5 victory over Si Jiahui at the Shanghai Masters.
The last-16 tie included six century breaks to tie the record for the most ever in a best-of-11 match - equalling Judd Trump and Neil Robertson's meeting in the 2016 Masters and Robertson's encounter with Mark Selby in 2020.
Wilson reached 97 in the deciding frame but opted for a no-look shot and missed the black.
The Englishman said he didn't realise he was on the verge of breaking the record but said it wouldn't have changed his approach.
