\"AustralianSheffield<\/strong>: Pankaj Advani<\/a>, who is the holder of seven World titles, defeated China’s Li Yan 5-1 in the second round of the Australian Goldfields Open snooker qualifiers here late Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

With the win, the 26-year old Advani is now two rounds away from qualifying for the main draw of the event to be held July 9-15 at the Bendigo Stadium in Victoria state of Australia.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Aditya Mehta<\/a>, the 26-year-old from Mumbai, went down 4-5 to Barry Pinches in a match that saw the Indian posting a break of 101 while the Englishman, who was ranked 18 in 2005-06, posted a 142.<\/p>\n

Playing against the 67th-ranked Yan, Advani won the first three frames to race to a 3-0 lead. Yan fought back to win the fourth frame before the players went into their half-time break.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Advani continued his good run and though there were no big breaks, he created favourable scoring opportunities and won two consecutive frames to end the match 5-1.<\/p>\n

Advani, making his debut on the professional circuit, had earlier defeated Justin Astley from England 5-1 in the first round of qualifiers Tuesday and next faces Chinese cueist, Liu Chuang, the 22-year-old former Asian Under-21 champion, in the third round.
