Bradley Brooks is through to a tie with Gerwyn Price in the Last 16 of the
Grand Slam of Darts after producing a 5-3 win against fellow Development Tour champion, Rusty-Jake Rodriguez.
Brooks is into the latter stages of a TV tournament for the first time in a run which could see him keep his Tour Card by right at the end of the year.
"This is massive for me," said Brooks post match.
"I'm over the moon to get through. I enjoyed the match and I got over the line, which is the main thing. It was probably the hardest game I've had to play in my career so far and I'm buzzing to be going through to the longer format matches."
