Paul Hunter has died at the age of 27 after a battle with cancer.
The Leeds player was taken into the Kirkwood Hospice in Huddersfield last Friday and died on Monday evening.
The three-time Masters champion was diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine tumours on the lining of his stomach in March 2005.
Hunter would have been 28 on Saturday. He leaves a wife, Lindsey, and a daughter, Evie Rose, who was born on Boxing Day of last year.

I am totally shocked by this news, he was one of the nice guys of snooker. He brought a freshness to the game and always really seemed to enjoy playing. He left behind a wife and a daughter that hasnt even reached her first birthday. This is a great loss to the wor;d of snooker but an even bigger loss to his family.
May you Rest In Peace mate
