Ronnie O'Sullivan has now reached 13 Crucible semi-finalsVenue: Crucible Theatre, Sheffield Dates: 16 April-2 MayCoverage: Watch live on BBC TV and Red Button with uninterrupted coverage on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport appSix-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan moved into the semi-finals of the World Championship with a comfortable 13-5 win over Stephen Maguire.
O'Sullivan, the world number one, led 11-5 overnight and compiled breaks of 71 and 126 to seal victory in 20 minutes.
His win sees him reach a 13th Crucible semi-final, one more than Stephen Hendry's tally of 12.
He will now face either four-time winner John Higgins or Jack Lisowski.
"I stayed focused and tried everything. There is a toolbox, you try and use everything in there and play your own game," O'Sullivan said.
"I'd rather not be playing here because it is a hard tournament.
"I've always said that this and the Masters are my two worst tournaments. I actually prefer going to Leicester to play in the Championship League, but you kind of have to show up to this one and give this one your best."
O'Sullivan is now just two victories away from a record-equalling seventh Crucible crown in the modern era, a feat held by Hendry since 1999.
