Jennifer Jones beat top-seeded Kerri Einarson 9-5 on Saturday afternoon to reach the final of the PointsBet Invitational.

The fifth-seeded Jones gave up a game-tying steal in the ninth end but scored four in the 10th when Einarson's angle-raise attempt rolled too deep.

Jones will play sixth-seeded Kristie Moore in Sunday's final.

Moore, who's filling in for skip Casey Scheidegger, scored two in the 10th end for an 8-7 win over second-seeded Kaitlyn Lawes in the other women's semifinal.

The men's semifinals are scheduled for later Saturday at Willie O'Ree Place.

Top-seeded Brad Gushue was to play fifth-seeded Reid Carruthers and second-seeded Brendan Bottcher was to face third-seeded Matt Dunstone.
