Li Hang failed to follow up on his win over Jimmy White as he was eliminated from the China Open second qualifying round by Martin Gould.

The Chinese, who defeated White 5-3 to set up the match with Gould, was brushed aside 5-1 at Pontins in Prestatyn.

Li's compatriots had mixed fortunes, with Jin Long defeating David Morris 5-1 - but Liu Song forced a decider before losing 5-4 to Robert Stephen.

Teenager Stephen Craigie, who came from 3-0 down to beat Lee Spick 5-4 on Wednesday, could not repeat the feat against Andrew Norman, who beat the 18-year-old 5-4.
