Ali Carter gained Group E of Championship League Snooker on Saturday to efficiently attain the final eight on the Mattioli Area in Leicester.
The Captain was competing in a three-player group following the withdrawal from the competitors of Neil Robertson.
Because of this, the format was revised and the gamers confronted off in opposition to one another twice every as an alternative of the same old as soon as beneath the round-robin guise.
Carter duly went undefeated, securing a brace of 3-1 triumphs over Jack Lisowski alongside a few 2-2 ties in opposition to Wu Yize.
The 44 year-old, who’s shifting nearer to a sixth profession rating title, will probably be joined in Stage Three by Scott Donaldson.
The latter prevailed from Group A with a document of two victories and a draw.
Donaldson, a former winner of the invitational model of Championship League Snooker, opened his account with a 3-1 overcome Chris Wakelin.
The Scot then whitewashed Thepchaiya Un-Nooh earlier than a 2-2 tie with Fan Zhengyi assured him prime spot within the standings.
Carter and Donaldson be a part of David Gilbert and Lengthy Zehuang, who emerged from Stage Two on Friday, in Wednesday’s remaining group stage.
Stage Two continues on Monday, in the meantime, with the subsequent couple of teams.
Mark Williams is the very best ranked participant left within the match and can face Si Jiahui, Ben Woollaston, and Stuart Carrington in Group D.
In Group H, Jak Jones will probably be in motion in opposition to Matthew Stevens, Martin O’Donnell, and Ma Hailong.
