The first Quarter-Finalists are set with Peter Wright and Ryan Searle the first into the final day at the 2021 Players Championship Finals in Minehead.
Wright battled back from 4-1 and 6-4 down to see off Damon Heta in a lukewarm reception for 'Snakebite' who received boos when throwing but it was a 10-8 triumph.
Heta began superbly taking out 100 to open up a 3-0 lead followed by going 4-1 up. His lead was slightly eroded but he smashed in a 164 checkout to lead 6-4 as he re-established his two leg cushion.
But Heta's level began to dip and parity was achieved by Wright at 6-6. The Aussie survived Wright missing the chance to go in front for the first time as Heta regained the lead at 7-6.
But the back and forth continued only for Heta to miss 82 to hold and Wright pinned 130 to lead for the first time at 8-7 in the race to ten.
A second 180 and an 81 checkout saw Wright go one away at 9-7. He was given a shot at 125 for the win which he missed and Heta was let off the hook at 9-8 to keep the match alive.
Wright missed three for the match on double 10 but returned to claim it with Heta frustrated as he couldn't force a shot at 126.
While Ryan Searle got over the line against Rob Cross over on Stage Two with his first victory over 'Voltage' to reach the Quarter-Finals.
It was a 10-7 win which saw him pin double one to claim it. After riding his luck at times this weekend, could 'Heavy Metal' go all the way in an almost home tournament?

- 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
