After the first session on Saturday, Trump had a 6-3 lead, and breaks of 95, 74, and 89 enabled him to advance to the next round.
He’ll portray Tom Ford, who on Sunday night defeated Ricky Walden 10-6.
Four-time world champion Mark Selby could be headed for an unexpected first-round defeat as Joe O’Connor, making his Crucible debut, surged to a commanding 7-2 lead.
When the match resumes on Monday, O’Connor, ranked thirty-ninth in the world, just needs three frames to go to the round of 16.
After Luca Brecel, the 2023 champion, lost to David Gilbert on Saturday, it would be an even bigger surprise.
