O'Sullivan had already beaten Anthony Hamilton 4-2 in the third round earlier in the day.

Vahedi barely had chance to get on the board, with just one break of 55, in the second frame, to show for his efforts.

O'Sullivan racked up another century break to add to the one he potted against Hamilton, notching 131 in frame number three.
