Play was abandoned in one match and suspended in another at the World Championship as a protester vandalised table one and a second person tried to attach themselves to table two.
Robert Milkins and Joe Perry will restart their first-round match on Tuesday.
A man climbed on to their table and covered it in an orange powder.
Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen and China’s Fan Zhengyi were also in action and escorted from the arena.
Referee Olivier Marteel helped prevent a female protester from gluing herself to the other table and they were removed from the auditorium by security staff.
Play resumed in the Allen v Fan match after a 40-minute delay, with the other match now set to begin again on Tuesday evening at 19:00 BST.
The second session of that match is yet to be rescheduled. Master of ceremonies Rob Walker was seen hoovering the table in a bid to try and get their match back under way as quickly as possible, however, the table was covered and will be re-clothed overnight.
Speaking on the BBC Red Button, seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry said: “I have never seen that before at a snooker event. It’s a first.
“It is scary. Wow! You just hope the cloth can be recovered from that. It caught us all by surprise and then this happens.
“For me, straight away as a snooker player I am thinking: ‘Is the table recoverable?’ We don’t know what that is on the table.”
