The semifinal matchups are set at the National.
Defending champion Kevin Martin of Edmonton meets Winnipeg's Jeff Stoughton, while top playoff seed Kevin Koe of Edmonton will face Toronto's Wayne Middaugh after the four skips scored victories in the quarter-finals Saturday in Port Hawkesbury, N.S.
Koe — the only undefeated skip to go 5-0 in round-robin play at the second leg of the World Curling Tour's Grand Slam series — got past Winnipeg's Kerry Burtnyk 6-4. Middaugh punched his ticket to the semifinals by edging Peter Corner of Brampton, Ont., 6-5 in an extra end.
Martin also needed an extra end to beat Greg McAulay of Richmond, B.C., 6-5, while Stoughton trounced Pat Simmons of Davidson, Sask., 9-4.
