The Welshman was cleared of any heart problems and resumed in Sheffield on Saturday trailing 5-3.

Williams tweeted on Friday: "A&E. Could be hear a while, couldn't stick the chest pains no more. Lucky there wasn't any more frames to play."

He added in a post later in the evening: "Doctors are confidant it's not anything to do with my heart. Awaiting more tests at 10 o clock . #cantwaitformebed."
