A formidable Semi-Final lineup sees four of the game's hottest talents vie for their place in the final and a shot at Masters glory.
The feature match in the afternoon sees young sensation Judd Trump face Australian Neil Roberton at 1pm.
Trump is aiming to reach the final of the three biggest events on the calendar with a win today; he made it to the World Championship final, narrowly losing out to John Higgins, but went one better in York last month by becoming UK Champion.
The 22-year-old has establised himself as arguably the best player in the world on current form, knocking out out Stuart Bingham, before thrashing Ronnie O'Sullivan 6-2 to reach this stage.
He faces former world champion Neil Robertson, who appears to have recaptured his top form this week. The Aussie left-hander has seen off top opposition in Mark Allen and Mark Williams to get this far and will be eyeing a place in his first ever Masters final.
The second Semi-Final promises to be another cracking contest, with two world champions going head-to-head as Shaun Murphy takes on John Higgins.
Higgins has looked dangerous from the off in this tournament and has been tipped by many to go all the way for a third time.
Unlike at Wembley, where the Scot struggled over the years, Higgins has warmed to the new Ally Pally venue and his relaxed playing style showed in his comprehensive victories over Matthew Stevens and Graeme Dott.
He faces yet another tough task today though, against an in-form Shaun Murphy.
The Magician has demonstrated clinical break-building this week and produced a shock last night by thrashing good friend Mark Selby 6-2.
He is the joint outsider to lift his first Masters title but will be determined to defy the odds and has every opportunity should he continue the form he has shown this week.
The action begins at 1pm, with both matches being streamed live over the best of eleven frames from the Alexandra Palace, London
