It has been an eventful tournament for O'Sullivan who played part of his first-round match without shoes on, was reprimanded for making an obscene gesture and illegally used his chalk to help line up a shot.
Bingham, the world number 10, will play Judd Trump in the semi-finals after the Englishman overwhelmed China's Ding Junhui 13-4.
