Bunting smashed in a 110 average as he surged past James Richardson in a whitewash win to put his name in the ha for today's title.
His fellow St Helens ace Michael Smith averaged similar with a 109 in seeing off Jelle Klaasen in a 6-1 win where 'The Cobra' lacked the sting with an 88 average.
Steve Beaton averaged 107 as he continues his evergreen form but he only just edged out his opponent in William O'Connor 6-4.
Also still going strong include the likes of Corey Cadby, Glen Durrant, James Wade and Ian White as we head into the latter stages in Barnsley.
