Samantha Allan has finally succumbed, her 99 unable to find another against a dastardly pair of 10s. Mark Stott hasn't taken his coat off all day despite the arid air inside the venue, but an affinity with chunky winterwear comes with the territory of being from the foothills of the Pennines. He's circling around 45k, but he's really flagging.
He's joined on Table 2 by Soe Kahn Lekram, who steps into the big scouse hole left by Steve Bayliff, sent packing towards the end of Level 10. Justin Adams is another contender for chip leader, steadily bashing his way past the 100k mark and looking for alert.
Special mention must go to Gregory Howard, whose baby blue fishing hat (a là The New Radicals) and Ian Brown facial features make for an interesting
musical mélânge. 65k or thereabouts.
