He faces DShaun Murphy in a repeat of the 2012 final after the Englishman came back to beat Mark Allen 6-2.

Murphy keeps alive his hopes of a career 'triple crown', winning six frames in a row to clinch victory.

Northern Irishman Allen took a 2-0 lead with breaks of 83 and 62, before Murphy responded with 80 and 83 as he went 3-2 ahead.

A 76 break plus a century put him further in front at 5-1, before taking the one he needed to advance into his second final.
