Stephen Bunting claimed victory in Sheffield with a commanding 6-3 win over Luke Humphries, averaging over 106 and hitting seven 180s. The Bullet's dominant performance secured fifth place in the Premier League standings and set up a crucial Finals Night lineup.

Humphries advanced to his fourth consecutive nightly final by defeating world No 1 Littler 6-1, averaging 100.82. The 31-year-old Newbury player strategically positioned himself to avoid Littler in the semi-finals, with both players set to compete at The O2 in London. Mark Webster noted Humphries 'bullied' Littler throughout their encounter.

Bunting's triumph came after a bizarre incident where Gerwyn Price halted play due to an unruly spectator, refusing to continue until security removed the individual. The Liverpudlian recovered to defeat Price 6-3 with a stunning 161 checkout.

Finals Night features second-placed Jonny Clayton against third-placed Humphries, while table-topper Littler faces fourth-placed Price. Bunting's win demonstrates the competitive depth as the Premier League concludes next Thursday.
