Ebdon's misfortune allowed Ding to reach the semi-finals with a 77 break.

Mark Williams also took advantage of an error from his opponent to beat Robert Milkins 5-2, a similarly careless shot gifting the Welshman victory.

Earlier, Australian Neil Robertson easily defeated Joe Perry 5-1, while defending champion John Higgins beat Mark Allen by the same score.

Ding had the edge on Ebdon early in their quarter-final encounter, but the 39-year-old Englishman fought back to win the first frame and soon extended his lead to two.

But, two frames down, Ding pulled off a superb shot which swung the momentum his way, pocketing a red while splitting the pack with precision to leave himself on the black.

Ding went on to wrap up the third frame in style, then levelled before pressing on to take a 4-2 advantage.

Ebdon watched in horror as the cue ball jumped on the black in the seventh frame, allowing Ding to cruise home with a break almost entirely composed of pinks.
