Alexander Ursenbacher was the only player to win a match in Group 26 of the BetVictor Championship League as he topped the table to reach the second round.

The Swiss ace drew his first two matches 2-2 against Graeme Dott and Matthew Selt, notably making a break of 121 in his opening tie. Ursenbacher then scored a handy 3-0 win over Florian Nuessle which put him top of the table.

Dott and Selt had also scored 2-2 draws in their first two games, and they met in the last match of the evening, both needing a 3-0 win and a break higher than 121. Dott took the opener then missed the final yellow on 106 in frame two, and that proved costly as Selt won the third then made a 119 in the fourth to secure yet another 2-2 draw.

David Lilley dominated Group 27, scoring three wins out of three to book his place in the next phase. A break of 85 helped him to a 3-0 win over Liam Graham, and Lilley went on to beat Paul Deaville 3-0 and Yuan Sijun 3-1.
