Nathan Aspinall is the next player through to the Quarter-Finals at The Masters but only just after scraping past Mensur Suljovic 10-9.
Aspinall survived five match darts from Suljovic to win through and claim a place in the Quarter-Finals where a tie against Mervyn King awaits.
Suljovic had a brilliant start in the form of a 117 checkout to hold in the opener in 15 darts. From there, he headed into the interval though finely poised with a 156 checkout to go 3-2 up.
He stayed ahead at 4-3 up though with a hold of throw. A crucial 115 checkout on double 19 from Aspinall saw him level at 4-4.
At the next interval though, it was level with a 103 checkout for Aspinall claiming parity. In the requisite leg, he wired the bull for a 130 checkout and Suljovic hit double nine for a 6-5 advantage.
It continued to be level though with Suljovic missing two darts to break and Aspinall claimed a reprieve at 7-7.
it became 12 consecutive holds of throw as Suljovic pinned double eight to lead 8-7 but he found a crucial break to make it 9-7 to go one away.
But he squandered two match darts and Aspinall trailed from there at 9-8 before forcing a decider.
Suljovic left 32 with Aspinall forced to take out 117 but he missed a match dart at double 20 and 'The Gentle' returned only to miss three more himself.
Aspinall seized the next opportunity hitting double 10

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
