Higgins was the only one of the four winners to drop a frame in the best-of-nine, 10 red format at the Sparta Arena.

Maguire hit a 56 break in the opening frame and completed his victory over Krystof Michal with a 64 in the final frame.

Osip Zusmanovic mustered just 10 points against 2006 world champion Dott but Lukas Krenek gave the home fans something to cheer when he won frame five against world champion Higgins to prevent a whitewash.

Jimmy White reached the final of the last leg in Killarney, only to lose to Shaun Murphy, and completed the day's action with a 5-0 victory over Czech number one Sishuo Wang.

Maguire will play Dott in an all-Scottish semi-final followed by Higgins against White before Sunday's evening best-of-nine final where the stars will revert to the traditional 15-red format.
