Ding cashes in after Ronnie's maximum miss

China's Ding Junhui lines up a shot during his quarterfinal victory over five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan of England at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield on Wednesday. Xinhua SHEFFIELD, England - Five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan bowed out of the World Snooker Championship on Wednesday after spurning a shot at a 147 break during a 13-10 quarterfinal loss to China's Ding Junhui. At last year's Welsh Open, the Englishman passed up on a maximum opportunity after learning the prize money was $15,000, saying he "didn't think the prize was worthy of a 147". Ding will fight for the final spot against world No 1 and defending champion Mark Selby, who eased past Marco Fu 13-3 in Wednesday's other match.
