Beaton delighted the crowd by reaching the latter stages for the first time in 15 years and he is looking forward to having an enjoyable Christmas as a result of him getting through to the second half.
He added that he has to go into every tournament with that positive mindset and a lot of the time that is the key.
"I had to dig in to get that result," said Beaton, who will take on Darius Labanauskas next up.
"I've had so many bad Christmases but I can go and enjoy it now, knowing that I'm coming back for another game.
"I've got to be positive and think I've got every chance of getting even further in the tournament."
