Proud Welshman Price, 40, was roared on by a passionate Cardiff crowd.
But Cross silenced The Iceman’s home support after a thrilling finish.
Ahead of the contest, Sky Sports had broadcast a feature with Price showing presenter Polly James around his chip shop in Markham, South Wales.
So when Cross conjured a 170 checkout, known as a Big Fish, to stun Price 6-5 in their quarter-final, fans couldn’t help but notice the irony.
One wrote on social media: “Sky running a pre-match feature with Gerwyn Price at his chippy only for Rob Cross to take out the big fish to win the match is Premier League Darts heritage.”
While a second gushed: “That’s pure darts poetry. Sky really set it up like a movie, and Voltage delivered the perfect plot twist.”
A third pointed out: “Could not have been scripted any better.”
Another added: “Absolute Cinema.”

Cross’ exploits cost one devastated punter £12,345 from a £5 bet.
The darts fan had correctly called Chris Dobey beating Stephen Bunting 6-2.
While they also predicted Michael van Gerwen to beatLuke Humphries 6-4 and Luke LIttler‘s 6-3 triumph over Nathan Aspinall.
A 6-5 Price win would landed the punter more than £12,000 – but for Cross’ amazing exploits to spoil their bet.
Cross, 34, went on to lose 6-2 to Littler in the semi-finals.
Luke the Nuke then beat Van Gerwen 6-4 in the final, sealing his third win of the Premier League season.
