Bingham also knocked out Mark Williams, Wu Yize and Mark Selby on his way to the final.

However, Ballrun’s amazing streak came to a brutal end when he faced Robertson for the main prize.

Bingham failed to make any kind of impact as he was thrashed 10-0 in the Far East.

It saw Robertson bag the easiest £180,000 jackpot of his career so far.

But Bingham has now been granted a chance for immediate revenge after being drawn against Robertson in the Players Championship.

The pair collide on Tuesday March 18 in the 1pm session.

And there will be an incredible prize of £150k to play for as the world’s best 16 players take to the tables in Telford.

Speaking after his Grand Prix defeat, Bingham admitted he was eager to face Robertson once again and right some wrongs.

He said: “My goal was to get to the final. My finally really was against Judd.

“I’ll take the positives and then I’m in Telford. I’ll be after Neil, I want him in the draw.

“He ain’t going to beat me 10-0 then!”

The rest of the Players Championship matches have also been made, with Mark Allen facing Kyren Wilson on Monday March 17.

Also taking place that day at 7pm is Mark Williams vs Ding Junhui.

While Mark Selby and Si Jiahui make up the second 1pm fixture the following day.

The 7pm games on Tuesday March 18 see Trump face Lei Peifan and Shaun Murphy take on Barry Hawkins.

And on Wednesday March 19, the final games between John Higgins and Chris Wakelin, plus Xiao Guodong vs Wu Yize, start at 1pm.

The quarter-finals then start later that evening and run until Friday afternoon.

They are immediately followed by the first semi-final, with the second occurring on Saturday night and the final on Sunday.
