It's the 8th and final day of competition in the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers and we found out who would complete the final line-up at the International Centre, Telford. The most popular player through has to be Jimmy White who stormed past Joe Perry. Also through was the Darling Of Dublin, Ken Doherty.

It's the penultimate day of action in the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers and as the temperature drops the heat of competition rises. Today saw six players qualify for the televised stages in Telford, two were Pinner potter Martin Gould and EPTC4 winner Stephen Lee.

It's day six of the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers in Sheffield and the atmosphere is tense as the event is reaching it's pinnacle. Two happy chaps who have made it through are Mark Joyce and Jimmy White.
