Former world champion Graeme Dott will miss this year's tournament after losing 10-7 to Kyren Wilson in the final qualifying round in Sheffield.
The 2006 winner led 6-4 but 22-year-old Wilson, 89th in the world, took six of the next seven frames to claim the win.
It means the Northamptonshire-born player will play at the Crucible for the first time in this year's tournament, which begins on Saturday.
It is the first time Dott, 36, will be missing since 1999.
