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

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
