On the evening of April 13, the last 8 matches of the "Showdown Day" of the Snooker World Championship qualifiers were played in this round, with a 10-win system of 19 innings, with the first stage playing 9 innings and the second stage playing until the end. In the first stage of the first stage of the race, the 2020 World Championship super dark horse Jamie Clarke was in a brave state, taking a 6-3 lead against world champion Dort in the first half, and only needed to get 4 more sets in the second half to advance to the main game of Crucible, and Dort was afraid of being upset. In another match played in the same period, Robert Milkins led Thailand's Sankham 5-4 in the first half.
Jamie Clark is actually more familiar to everyone, the player ranking tournament although relatively low, but the strength is obvious to all, once played the role of a super dark horse at the 2020 World Championships, eliminated Mark Allen in the first round after entering the regular match, fought with McGill in the 1/8 final to the decider, this time the opponent is the world champion Dortmund, Dort just blasted 147 and 6-1 swept the mainland player Pang Junxu in the last round, the state can be described as quite hot, but the game is unexpected, although the opening Dort took a 1-0 lead, But Clark completed the deadlock in the second inning with a 77-76 inning, 1-1! He then shot 2 pars 60+ and won 3 innings in a row to give Dortmund a 4-1 lead on aggregate! In the 6th inning, Dort responded with a 60+, 2-4! In the 7th-8th inning, Clark again blasted a 2-bar 50+ to take a 6-2 lead! Dortt scored a 50-pointer in the 9th inning to barely hold the score.
Although Thailand's famous Sankan started with 2 consecutive shots to break the 100, but lost the offensive and defensive battle in the 3rd and 4th sets, the two sides drew 2-2 before the break, Sankam single shot 92 points in the 5th set, 3-2 back to the lead, 6-7 innings each played a 56-pointer, Sankam 4-3 lead! Milkins then hit a 76-point equaliser and won the ninth inning with a 61-50 set to give Sankham a small 5-4 lead in the first half.
