But the 27-year-old, who whitewashed Mark Williams on Thursday night, was in dominant form once again as he eased to a 5-1 win.
Starting with a break of 120 in the opening frame, Trump was pulled back before taking four frames in a row to go through.
What a start from @judd147t! A break of 120 gives him the opening frame against John Higgins. @Eurosport_UK @QuestTV https://t.co/VR80GfDl4A

In the semi-finals Trump will play Barry Hawkins who won the last three frames of the match to beat Ricky Walden 5-2.
