Hubert Wee (SIN) had a big win over Michael Hornung (AUS), 635-374 with the help of the ninetimer EVACUATE (176) through the C.
Some nice six-letter words in the board between Cheah Siu Hean (SIN) vs Trevor Halsall (AUS): DESOXY and ZAIKAI. Cheah showed me his rack MUMBAI+T, and complained that there was no place for the bingo [1] by that time. Trevor’s game, and Australia’s win 3-2.
Australia’s win should have brought joy to the Thai team. Except for the fact that the Philippines are really playing the kingmaker now. Having beaten Singapore 4-1 the previous round, they repeated their feat against mighty Thailand, 4-1. Apirat Choomai (THA) contributed the Thai’s sole point against Tony Malonzo. I spotted the pretty AQUAVITS on this board. Marlon Prudencio, Oscar Rivera, and Robbie Onate beat Panupol, Komol, and Jakkrit respectively to help Singapore pull back to within 1 point behind. Let’s see if the Philippines can keep up their fire to the end of the round.
Next round Team Singapore is playing team Thailand, and with 0.5 points separateing the two teams, it’s everybody’s game. The two team “managers”, Michael Tang and Amnuay Ploysangngam are going round giving the team members pep talk and incentive to win the round. I’m sure there is more than pride going here
With Singapore and Thailand faltering, Australia has slowly inched its way back to contention. It will need fantastic result from Australia and Singapore and Thailand stopping each other, but it’s doable. Team Malaysia on the other hand is just one behind Australia and trying hard to overhaul them, with 3 rounds to go.
Pui Cheng Wui (MAL) has beaten Tony Sim (SIN) in Open Division table 1 with the help of the nine-timer GRIPPLEs. This means the two of them will face-off again in the next round. Waiting in the wings at table 2 next round are Chaiwat (THA) and Dielle Saldanha (CAN) who is on a 6-win run.
