A sensational break of 123 in the decider helped Shaun Murphy make Judd Trump a high-profile casualty in the fourth round of the British Open.
After Murphy dismantled Neil Robertson in the afternoon session, he started strongly up against world number one Trump and quickly established a 3-1 advantage.
Trump, who had seen off Cork duo Aaron Hill and Leone Crowley in earlier rounds, fought back in trademark fashion, but Murphy had the last laugh with a supreme 123 break to clinch the decider and progress into the quarter-finals at the Centaur.
Defending champion Mark Selby also eased through with a 4-0 success over Chang Bingyu and Mitchell Mann, who almost failed to arrive for his second-round tie with Gao Yang on Wednesday due to a flat tyre, continued his fine week in Cheltenham with a 4-2 victory against Barry Hawkins.
Louis Heathcote won by the same score against Liam Davies, whilst Mark Williams secured a 4-1 triumph over Lei Peifan to set up a meeting with Murphy.
Earlier in the day, Williams had fought back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to beat Antrim's Mark Allen in a deciding frame. Allen, who claimed the English Open title on Sunday, hit the hight break of the match - a 106 in the opening frame - but he couldn't get the frame he needed today.
Elsewhere, Robbie McGuigan was outclassed 4-0 by Ben Mertens.
