Six-time World Championship runner-up Jimmy White staged an impressive comeback to beat amateur Anton Kazakov 10-9 in a thrilling contest that finished at 01:20 BST.
Englishman White, 62, has not qualified for the tournament since 2006.
He punched the table after forfeiting the third frame for three misses.
Trailing 7-3 after losing five successive frames, he then won six in a row, which included a break of 126.
Ukraine’s Kazakov, 20, won the next two to set up a final-frame decider despite having only two breaks of 50 or more in the match.
White’s most recent title was the Players Championship in 2004.
The World Championship begins on 19 April at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
