Dave Harold benefitted from Ronnie O'Sullivan's withdrawal from the China Open with a second-round walkover into the last 16.
Harold had beaten 16-year-old Chinese wild card Xiao Guo Dong 5-3 in his opening match.
Australian Quinten Hann will meet Ken Doherty after defeating another wild card, Guo Hua, 5-1
Tom Ford won the last three frames to beat Zheng Peng 5-3 and set up a last 32 meeting with John Higgins.
"It's a bit of luck for me I suppose and it's about time after the bad fortune I've had," said Harold, who lost 10-6 to Barry Pinches in the final qualifying round of the Embassy World Championship on Thursday.
"It's nice to have a few extra days off to get my sleep patterns back to normal. With Ronnie not coming, the draw has opened up.
