Lisowski, 33, got off to a strong start as he won two of the first three frames of the match.
In the fourth frame, he even got a helping hand from a bit of luck.
He was leading the frame 49-1 and trying to pot a red into the far top pocket.
He misjudged his shot, and it cannoned off the corner of the pocket.
However, the red then rebounded off the static green and rolled perfectly into the middle pocket.
Carter was left stunned in his seat while the Eurosport commentator said: “Not sure I’ve ever seen a fluke like that before”.
Fans were also left bemused by the freak fluke shot as they reacted on social media.
One wrote: “There’s been a lot of strange things happening this week, lads.”

A second commented: “Against Ali Carter as well, even better.”
A third wrote: “Jack Lisowski with an outrageous fluke.”
A fourth said: “Just unreal.”
Another added: “That is just so lucky.”
Lisowski went on to win the whole match 6-4 to dump Carter out of the tournament.
After the clash, he insisted that he “got away” with the win.
He said: “I didn’t play as well as the other day but I was kind of expecting that.
“I felt a bit inexperienced at the end. I just push the boat out at the wrong times and he could have been coming back at me.
“It could definitely have been 5-5, so I got away with that.
“The fans here are amazing. I think they maybe watched the game against Selby the other day and appreciated it, because he had 94% pot success.
“I was looking back on it and to beat him is really tough. I felt a lot of support tonight and sometimes that can put me under pressure.
“My concentration is getting better though and that definitely helped. The crowd in York is my favourite bunch.”
Elsewhere, Mark Allen booked his spot in the final eight with a 6-4 victory over Wu Yize.
List of all-time Snooker World Champions
