Fifteen-time world champion Pankaj Advani stormed into the quarterfinals at the SangSom 6 Red World Championship on Thursday. India's leading cueist Advani continued to stamp his authority by getting the better of his Chinese opponent Yuan Sijun in the pre-quarterfinal contest. Advani raced to a 3-1 lead before Sijun pulled one back to reduce the gap to one frame. Trailing by 30 points in the tenth frame, Advani had a difficult clearance to avoid a decider, which he did with surgical precision. On qualifying to the Last 32 knockout stage, Advani whitewashed Germany's Lukas Kleckers 6-0.
