Graeme Dott saw his hopes of making it to the Crucible end in heartbreak.
The Scot was sent packing 10-7 by China’s Tian Pengfei in the final round of World Championship qualifying.
And Dott’s disappointing defeat at the English Institute of Sport means it’s just the third time in 22 years the 2006 champion has failed to grace the game’s grandest stage.
Peng fei, who made his Crucible debut two years ago, roared 4-0 ahead in Sheffield.
And the damage was done by the time the first session was over as Dott finished it a staggering 8-1 down.
The veteran mustered a paltry 113 points in a session to forget as Pengfei rattled in breaks of 82, 108, 110, 78, 67 and 114.
