Defending champion Peter Ebdon, Judd Trump and John Higgins all crashed out of the Bank of Beijing China Open in the first round yesterday.
Ebdon's defence of his crown came to an early end with a 5-3 loss to Marcus Campbell of Dumbarton, whose opponent in the last 16 will be fellow Scotsman Graeme Dott.
At the penultimate event of the season, world No.1 Trump was eliminated after suffering a 5-3 defeat at the hands of Jack Lisowski.
Earlier, four-time world champion Higgins led Robert Milkins 3-1 and 4-3, but the Scot was eventually beaten 5-4.
