Hill was competing in the quarter-final at a ranking event for just the second time in his career.
The Corkman defeated Tom Ford 5-3 last night to progress. Hill built up a 4-0 lead before Ford launched a strong comeback with scores of 85, 56 and 77 to put pressure on the 22-year-old at 4-3.
However, Hill composed himself to take a 5-3 victory with a 74 in the next frame to put himself into Friday’s quarter-finals.
Hill stunned tournament favourite Mark Williams earlier this week, and continued his impressive run by overcoming Jimmy Robertson 5-1 to reach the last-16.
