Mark Allen progressed to the semi-finals of the Coral Players Championship on Thursday night with a stirring 6-4 comeback against Stuart Bingham in Preston.
The county Antrim man trailed 3-0 at one stage, before winning six of the next seven frames to progress.
He'll next meet the winner of the clash between Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins, which takes place on Friday afternoon.

After a slow start, Allen began to find his rhythm, and breaks of a 72 and 108 brought him right back into the match.
His momentum was broken by a mistake in the eighth, as Bingham brought the pair level once more.
But from there, Allen showed composure to see the match out. He can look forward to an afternoon off tomorrow, before returning to the Guild Hall on Saturday.
