World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan came from behind to beat qualifier Ryan Day 13-10 late on Monday and complete the World Championship quarter-final line-up.
O'Sullivan trailed 9-7 at the start of the final session but took advantage of some costly errors from Day to win six out of seven frames and seal victory.
"It was a tough game and I'm lucky to be through," O'Sullivan said at the post-match news conference.
"He had his chances to win, but he wasn't able to finish me off."
Briton O'Sullivan, a twice winner, is now looking forward to a last eight clash with another twice former champion, Mark Williams.
"I need to raise my game a little because he's playing well again," O'Sullivan said.
