Update 14:11 - Edgar first through with Payne victory

Matthew Edgar is the first player through to the World Championship from the UK Qualifier after winning his final match against Josh Payne.

Edgar who in doing so will likely save his Tour Card for another year saw off Payne in a 7-2 win to cap off a day which has seen him defeat Gary Blades (6-4), Martin Atkins (6-5) before seeing off 'The Maximum'.

All day, he has averaged between 92-95 and now the man behind Edgar TV will adorn the stage at the Alexandra Palace once more.
