Scotland’s Graeme Dott reached the semi-finals after overcoming Mark Allen in a final-frame decider 13-12. In the first session, Allen was 4-0 up at the interval, rattling in breaks of 66, 58 and 54, but Dott came out and made a break of 76 as he took the next three frames. However, the Irishman made sure he had a lead at the end of the first session by making a century in the concluding frame.
In the second session, Allen, a semi-finalist of last year, extended his lead to three, but Dott came back to take the next five frames, knocking in breaks of 74, 116, 85 and 67. Allen responded in the final frame of the session with his own break of 67.
