It is getting exciting as news of Chris May (AUS)’s defeat in the hand of Odette Rio (PHI) filtered through. Ganesh (MAL) beat Komol (THA) to tie Chris on wins. Ganesh played the natural HYOSCINE in the win.

Ganesh’s victory also helped Malaysia to a 4-1 win over Thailand. Singapore beat team International 3-2 to now be 2.5 points ahead of Thailand. Andy Kurnia (SIN) nine-timed Albert Hahn (INT) with E(s)TRIDGE (140)

In fact, Malaysia just overtook Thailand as the second-placed team. Singapore is 2 ahead of Malaysia, so a 4-1 result in Malaysia’s favour will see them win the tournament.

There will be a couple of intriguing game coming up: Ganesh (MAL) vs Hubert (SIN), Nigel (MAL) vs Cheah (SIN), Chris (AUS) vs Komol (THA).

Cheah Siu Hean (SIN) was bemoaning the fact that he was holding AEMRUU?, was presented an X on the board with which he saw the only playable bingo to the X [1], and chickened out of it. He squandered the chance and lost the game.

FUNGIC and FUNGAL were both played this round. Spores in the air?

In the Open division, Pui Cheng Wui found the nice BEDWARD. News just filtered through: Tony Sim (SIN) has beaten Dielle Saldanha (CAN) and won the Open Division.
