Ken Doherty came from 4-1 down to beat Michael White 5-4 and reach the final qualifying round of the China Open.
Last November, Doherty recovered a 4-0 deficit to beat Sam Craigie 5-4 in the German Masters qualifiers, and once again the Irishman showed his capacity to fight back from unpromising positions.
Welshman White knocked in breaks of 86 and 57 in building a 4-1 lead, but 1997 World Champion Doherty got back to 4-4 with a top run of 84 then took the decider 60-0.
Jimmy White beat Liam Highfield 5-3 thanks to breaks of 97 and 67 in the last two frames, while David Grace came from 4-2 down to beat Matthew Selt 5-4, making a superb 61 clearance to win the last frame on the black.
China's Li Yan beat Mike Dunn 5-4, winning the decider 68-31, while Michael Holt thrashed Peter Lines 5-1 with a high score of 98.
Today's winners need to get through one more round on Friday to earn a seat on the flight to Beijing at the end of March. - http://www.worldsnooker.com/
