RYAN JOYCE's dream William Hill World Championship debut continued with a 3-0 victory over former Ally Pally finalist Simon Whitlock, the number eight seed.
Joyce won the first leg but 180s in each of the next two from Whitlock helped the Australian put himself in pole position - only to see his opponent hit back to win the opening set.
Joyce won the second set 3-1 with the aid of a 109 finish, before wrapping up the third set 3-0 to complete a surprising straight sets win.
The Geordie ace, who defeat Anastasia Dobromyslova in round one, will take on either Alan Norris or Steve Lennon in the last 32.
