three years later, in 1991 he reached the masters final again at wembley where, in the best-of-17-frame match, he surged to a 7–0 lead over stephen hendry and missed a pink which would have put him 8–0 ahead. he then moved into an 8–2 lead and needed just the pink and black to clear for the match in the eleventh frame, but missed the shot with the rest. hendry took that frame and managed to spring a comeback to win the match 9–8. hallett would go on to win two invitational world series of snooker events later in the year, but did not win another professional title after 1991.
