Dobey edged through with a 94 average, three 180's and a pivotal 160 checkout and will now face Gerwyn Price or Dirk van Duijvenbode.
Dobey edged into a 3-2 lead early on with 75% on the outer ring. But at the interval, it remained close with Humphries staying in touch at 6-4 down despite missing 14 darts at double.
It was truly game on at 8-8 as Humphries produced a huge 108 checkout to make it 8-8.
But Dobey sent the game is his favour as he hit a blockbuster 160 checkout living up to his Hollywood moniker to go one away at 9-8 holding throw.
This proved vital as Dobey went on to hit a 64 checkout to seal the win 10-8 and move on.
