‘Cool Hand’ has had a tough time by comparison, surviving scares against Ricardo Pietreczko and going to a final-leg sudden death decider against Joe Cullen.
Here is how the 28-year-old’s winding path to the final unfolded…
R1: Bye
R2: Humphries 3-0 Evans
R3: Humphries 4-3 Pietreczko
Last 16: Humphries 4-3 Cullen
QF: Humphries 5-1 Chisnall
SF: Humphries 6-0 Williams
