Fine finishing of 102 and 101 give the Northern Irishman a great birthday present as he edges towards safety after only losing twice but drawing the rest up to now.
Gurney spoke afterwards and admitted that it was a great birthday present for him and that his confidence is growing again as a result of the victory.
"I don't really know what’s coming next week, I've never played there before," admitted the World Grand Prix champion.
"I hope they sing loud and get behind me and it should be an amazing night, and hopefully I can get another win and this time against the World Champion."
Gurney added: "That was a real birthday present for me. I've been playing well and I know I can beat these guys, and the couple of ton-plus finishes probably swung the game in my direction.
"The confidence is coming back now and I just have to keep going and get away from the bottom two. I'm glad to get over the finish line and get my first win in the Premier League - it's a monkey off my back!"
