Three Indians including reigning world champion Pankaj Advani, five-time winner Geet Sethi and Sourav Kothari have moved into the quarterfinals of the World Professional Billiards championships. On the second day of the event at Leeds, U.K., on Thursday, all the three players recorded victories over their respective opponents. Both Advani and Kothari have won three matches each and the final encounter between them will decide the number 1 and 2 positions in Group A. Two top players from each group will advance to the knockout stage starting tomorrow. Geet Sethi, making his 19th appearance at the event, scored an emphatic win over England's Matthew Sutton before overcoming compatriot Rupesh Shah to confirm his berth for knockouts. With an all-win record, Sethi topped his Group B and joined the likes of Advani and Kothari in the last-eight stage.
