Early tournament simulations give Nigel Richards (NZL) a greater than 95% chance of making it to the finals, before his 440-439 win over Komol Panyasophonlert (THA) is entered.

The simulated betting line on who his opponent will be currently runs (after recording Nigel's win) at 2:5 Panupol Sujjayakorn (THA), 6:1 Jakkrit Klaphajone (THA), 15:1 Komol, 30:1 Worasit Suksansumran (THA) or Weera Saengsit (THA).

Weera is 7-0 for the day so far, and in the running for the first Super Bonus prize of the event if he beats Jakkrit next round. He started the day 25th, and is now 6th.

Ricky Purnomo (IDN) triple-triples GRAVELLY (144) through an E vs. Akkarapol Khwansak (THA) for a big win.
