Marco Fu moved in the quarter-finals of the Australian Goldfield Open with a 5-2 victory over Shaun Murphy in Bendigo.
Fu actually lost the first two frames of the match and was 56-0 down in the third before a break of 80 saw him nick that frame and from then on in he never looked back.
In three of the final four frames Murphy wouldn't even pot a ball as Fu flew away to take the victory.
A run of 61 helped the Hong Kong potter make it 2-2 and then a break of 70 in the fifth edged him in front.
Murphy did score 13 points in the next frame but Fu still took it with two mini-breaks and a fine 115 in the next saw him secure the match.
Fu will play Dominic Dale in the quarter-finals.
Defending champion Barry Hawkins is also out after he crashed to Tom Ford 5-4.
The final frame was a nail-biter with both players fouling four times.
There were also victories for Robert Milkins and Joe Perry over Rory McLeod and Stuart Bingham respectively.
