Ronnie O'Sullivan fought back to claim a record-extending eighth Masters title with a thrilling 10-7 victory over Ali Carter at a raucous Alexandra Palace.
O'Sullivan, already the youngest-ever winner of the tournament, becomes the oldest-ever champion too, aged 48.
He trailed 6-3 in the evening session but then reeled off six of the next seven frames before sealing his win.
O'Sullivan's victory means he earns the £250,000 top prize, with Carter taking home £100,000.
The world number one, who collected his eighth UK Championship in December, had never previously won consecutive Triple Crown events in the same season.
However, he now has the opportunity to emulate Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams, who are the only players to have won all three in the same campaign, with Scotland's Hendry achieving the feat twice.
