Tuesday Recap
Cue-Man-Fu produced some of the best form of his career at the Ally Pally, catching Trump at the end to overturn a likely defeat at the Masters tournament.
The elder statesman showed discipline and control to battle back against the world No. 4.
The Bristol-born wizard captured the opening three frames with breaks of 102, 87 and 67, with Fu helpless in his seat.
However, the 2011 Masters runner-up staged a revival in the fourth frame, making a titanic break of 130 to register a comeback.
The following frames saw Fu rattle off breaks of 88 and 89 to further erode the deficit, but Trump made his way back to the table, firing a break of 79 to make it 4-2.
World Snooker highlighted Trump's finishing:
Fu continued to raise his standard and wrestled the score back to 4-4 after a 110 clearance levelled proceedings.
However, an aggressive break of 112 gave Trump the advantage once again as the crowd became more involved in the match.
The tie was all square in the 10th frame. Both men continued to play to the highest standard, and the match was decided at the death. Fu edged out his opponent with yet another sensational century clearance.
BBC Sport confirmed the result:
Trump was the pick of many to progress deep into the competition, but Fu will now meet Allen in the quarter-final.
The Asian master has been playing at his best since winning the recent Scottish Open against John Higgins, and the competition format suits the player as he attempts to scoop a major tournament success.

Robertson was in fine form as he beat Carter in a high-quality match in the evening session.
The Australian raced to a 4-1 lead as he dominated the table, but Carter displayed his usual resilience he is famous for, hitting breaks of 73, 93 and 73 to make it 5-3.
However, the former world champion made a stunning finish of 117 as he wrapped up the match, guaranteeing his spot in the last-eight, winning 6-3 on the night.
