Gerwyn Price produced a clinical display to beat Ross Smith 16-12 in the World Matchplay quarter-finals, setting up a meeting with Gian van Veen in the last four.
The Welshman looked to be in control of the last-eight tie at Blackpool's Winter Gardens before Smith fought back from 12-8 down to draw level.
However, Price was able to raise his game again to seal victory with a 102.78 average as he bids to reach the final of the tournament for the first time.
"Ross played a decent game as well, so it's nice to play well when someone is playing well. It gives you a bit of confidence going into the next round," Price told Sky Sports.
"For him to get back to 12-12, I thought 'here we go again', but thankfully I rode off four legs on the bounce."
