An even 40 players tonight including newcomer Hamlin Declaimi.
Danny Assabgy was the drawn jackpot and, after winning his first round 7-0, looked like the coveted prize might be won. But fate intervened in the form of Antonio who, in the second round reversed the score by beating Danny 7-0...the vicissitudes of backgammon!
