Ken Doherty comes up short in World Championship qualification bid

Ken Doherty's bid to reach the World Snooker Championship came up short as he was beaten 10-6 by Pang Junxu in a third round qualifier.

Doherty rushed into a 4-0 lead over Pang but crucially missed a pink off the spot to go 5-0 up.
