On his debut competing for the United States, Amitabh Seth came back from a 2-0 deficit to win his first Group B match 3-2 in the Masters' Event of the 2016 International Billiards & Snooker Federation (IBSF) World Snooker Championships at the Al-Sadd Sports Club Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

The 48-year-old was up against Jahangir Habibzadehdehkordi, and it was the Iranian who made a flying start as he went into a commanding 2-0 advantage, however Seth then completely turned the tables on his opponent and strung together the following three frames to record a useful 3-2 win after an epic battle that lasted for over five hours, and keeps his hopes alive of advancing into the knockout stage of the event after losing his first two matches.

Seth will play his fourth group match on November 23 at 1pm (2am Pacific Time / 5am Eastern Time in the United States) against Iceland's Jón Ingi Ægisson.

After heavily losing his first Group I match in the Men's Event, the three times United States National Snooker Champion Ahmed Aly Elsayed was under pressure to try and gain a win in order to help his chances of qualifying for the knockout stage. However his opponent, the 20-year-old former professional from Switzerland, Alexander Ursenbacher, proved too strong on this occasion as he ran out a comfortable 4-0 winner to leave Aly's hopes of progression in the balance and now must win his final group match.

Ajeya Prabhakar was also in Men's Event action hoping to follow up on his previous victory, but he too fell to Issara Kachaiwong in Group K after taking a 1-0 advantage with a break of 56, the Thai player reeled off four successive frames with respective breaks of 64, 91, 82 and 72.

Aly will play Bahrain's Khalil Busaif in his final group match which commences on November 24 at 10am local time (11pm Pacific Time / 2am Eastern Time in the United States), and Prabhakar will play his penultimate group match against Saudi Arabia's Ahmed Sarhan on November 23 at 10am local time.
