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

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024

- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
