Dave Chisnall is through to the Quarter-Finals at The Masters for the sixth time after edging out Daryl Gurney 10-9 in a decider to end the afternoon session in Milton Keynes.
After the first two matches were completed with relative ease, the last two were anything but with Chisnall edging through with a 97.8 average and five 180's.
Chisnall began the tie by racing into a 3-0 lead but Gurney hit back with a 146 checkout to reduce the deficit to 3-2 and keep it interesting.
Despite that though, the St Helens ace raced into the lead again at 5-3 up with a break of throw and after Gurney missed his chance to break, Chisnall cleaned up for a 76 checkout and a 6-3 lead.
It was Chisnall's turn to miss though in the requisite leg as he missed five at doubles and Gurney returned for a 106 checkout to trail 6-4.
It was another 170 to add to the tally at The Masters as Gurney from there closed the gap to 7-6. But Chisnall responded with an immediate break back to go 8-6 up and potentially put the tie to bed.
His doubles came back to haunt him though as he wasted nine and Gurney broke back on double one to trail 8-7. Chisnall went one away but Gurney levelled at 9-9 to send it all the way. Chisnall though finished the job with a 74 checkout to move through in another thriller to end the afternoon.

- 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
