Ronnie O'Sullivan says this year's World Championship could be his last major event, stating he only returned to the sport for "a bit of money".
The defending champion, 37, beat Stuart Bingham 13-4 on Wednesday to move into the semi-finals of the tournament.
O'Sullivan pulled out of the 2012-13 season last November because of "personal issues" before ending his snooker sabbatical in February.
"I've realised I don't miss snooker but I needed a bit of money," he said.
"I'll be honest, I still owe the school money for my children's school fees, I haven't paid the last two or three terms.
"I didn't know what was going to happen here but I've made a little bit of money now so I can go and pay the school fees now for the next two years.
"But really I don't think snooker is for me. This could be my last proper major event."
O'Sullivan's reward for defeating Bingham is an enticing last four encounter with Judd Trump, who overcame Shaun Murphy 13-12 in a thrilling quarter-final.
Despite confirming he has fallen out of love with the game, O'Sullivan promised he will give his all against Trump.
He added: "I'm a competitor and I hate losing. I will fight to the death. They'll have to scrape me off the table.
"I've got five days left potentially, it could possibly be three, and if I can't get through that then something's seriously wrong.
"The light at the end of the tunnel is it doesn't have to go on any longer."
Hes got some serious, serious demons that fella.
