Pipe has continued his miraculous return to form this weekend by thrashing Darren Webster in a 6-1 win.
He hit a 96 average in seeing off Webster and instead of talking in his post-match interview, he crowd surfed with the fans getting back on ‘The Force’s side this weekend.
He will face a big task next in Rob Cross who despite his form as of late will feel lucky to be in the last eight.
Jonny Clayton was 4-2 up and seemingly cruising to a big win but was pegged back with ‘Voltage’ surging through 6-4.
As a result Clayton will be gutted but it could be the scare Cross needed in his pursuit of the title in Leverkusen.
