- White has not been at world championships since 2006
- Scores break of 126 against 20-year-old opponent
Jimmy White kept alive his hopes of qualifying for the World Snooker Championship for the first time since 2006 with a nail-biting, final-frame win over Ukrainian Anton Kazakov.
The veteran six-time runner-up, who turns 63 next month, was 7-3 down just after the resumption of the evening session but reeled off six frames in a row – including a break of 126 – to put him on the brink of victory.
