 | Matthew Tassier * Tal Lessner - 581 tournament points. |
 | Jon Stammers What were you worried about, Ravi, you got through no problem!? |
 | Tracey Mills Just waiting on Steven Harding and Richard Barnett any ideas what is happening with those two ? |
 | Fiona T They've got another week yet! |
 | Gevin Chapwell That's part of the fun of this format - play your game early and then wait two weeks agonising about whether you're going through! |
 | Dan Southwell Yep! Currently how I'm feeling about round 5.... |
 | Chris Butler To be honest, I find it quite annoying that some always people play right at the end of the window, but they're well within their rights! |
 | Richard Barnett Oops sorry didn't realise you were waiting on me... will play soon (though there's also MSR, Eoin, Thomas, Tom, Elliott still on the last round, so more than just two of us) |
| Show all comments | |
 | Dan Spinks and possible Dave K, Roger and Ashwin as well. it's nowhere near the point of waiting on Richard and Steven |
 | Adam Latchford Everybody should be eliminated unless they play the game within the first 35 seconds of it coming out. Simple! |
| Matthew Tassier A record-equalling 4 max games in this Normal round, but only Strongest Link Adam hit a perfect 200 as he and Elliott both register their 4th max game of this tournament. |
| Matthew Tassier With one absentee this round there was room for two of the three players tied on 124 to save themselves thanks to their margin of victory, Tom B and Tlou being the lucky players to squeeze through ahead of Ciaran. This means Ciaran, Tracey and M S R you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
| Tracey Mills Thanks Matthew it was fun but very brief ! |
