Keane Barry booked his place in the Players Championship Finals next month with a run to the quarter-finals at Wigan, while William O'Connor was denied in the last four.
Meath man Barry beat Gabriel Clemens, Andrew Gilding and Danny Noppert before losing to Luke Woodhouse in the quarter-final.
The run in today’s final PC event sees Barry into the top 64 for the Minehead event from 21-23 November and also secured his place at December’s World Championship at Alexandra Palace.
BRILLIANT BARRY!

Meanwhile, Luke Littler has hit out at what he argues are double standards following his omission from the Players Championship 33 event.
The world champion had to withdraw from Wednesday's tournament at Wigan’s Robin Park Leisure Centre after arriving too late to register.
Littler was caught up in traffic congestion caused by a serious incident on the M6 in which a man died.
He did compete in today's tournament at the same venue but lost to Matt Campbell, and afterwards he took to social media to complain about the previous day’s events.
Littler wrote on Instagram: "Not the best day today but played some decent stuff, but really glad to hear from a few of the other players that people have been let in almost half an hour late for a pro tour but I can’t be two minutes late.
"Says a lot, one rule for one and one for another."
Littler had already booked his place in the Players Championship finals.
