Dennis Priestley is through to the third round of the last 16 of the Professional Darts Championship in Purfleet.
The third seed claimed a 4-3 victory over Dutchman Dane Per Laursen.
Priestley, who was down 3-1 and had to mount a strong comeback was delighted with the result.
"I'm so relieved," he said.
"It's unbelievable that he missed so many doubles but they weren't far away - they were all on the wire. To have had that sort of luck someone must be looking down on me."
He will face Andy Hamilton on Thursday for a quarter final place.
