But the Northern Irishman stuck around and pinched the set 3-2 with a spectacular 130 finish, to reduce the overall arrears. Gurney then continued to ride the wave of momentum, levelling the match at two sets all by taking out a brilliant 151.
But Dave rediscovered his touch in the fifth set, romping it 3-0 including a sublime two-double top finish. And he polished off the number 27 seed. breaking the throw with a double 13 then held his nerve to win the set 3-1 and with it, a tense and competitive last 16 match.
Chisnall will now play either Luke Humphries or Joe Cullen in the quarter finals on New Year's Day.
