Number 26 seed thechamp87 was felled by aya14 who ran like God to knock out the volatile Serie B star. I asked thechamp87 for his thoughts "Its f****** b*******. The f***** ran like a c*** and hit f***** everything. F****** rigged b*******"
zuroph was unable to produce any magic and was ousted by the 147 man.
zuroph said "I've seen Ronnie O Sullivan run good, but Connie would have had got the rub of the green based on today's performance"
Despite being seeded 40, cooker3 produced a dazzling display to comprehensively beat Serie B player ZZR100.
Number 7 seed HiCloy also fell by the wayside thanks to Serie D'er dangerousdavid. 44 places separated these 2, but on the day, dangerousdavid was the better player.
doke and digiman survived scares against tipp86 and aidankk and both will be looking for an easier draw in the next round.
One of the biggest names in the field, padraig06 was another faller at the first hurdle. dougee19 was the man that did the damage with a 2-0 victory. At first we all thought it was a hoax, but that wasn't the case. dougee19 must now be seen as a man to avoid in the second round.
Flushdraw managed to beat Serie D highflyer pkaces. pkaces is top of serie D having suffered a sole defeat, but couldn't produce a David v Goliath performance to topple Flushdraw ;-)
Numero uno seed smoothcall seemed to buckle under the pressure of the favourite's tag and couldn't dig deep enough to stave off the challenge of the number 37 seed gkenny. Speaking afterwards, gkenny said: "When I'm on top of my game I can beat anyone. I still have a couple of gears left in the tank as well so everyone beware"
Pokerswat pro HJ made it safely into round two thanks to a victory over conbro.
We asked conbro to comment, but his response was "What thechamp87 said".
Number 8 seed Marty Smyth proved too strong for northwestguy87. During the prematch interviews, northwestguy87 said "I'm playing some guy, Martin Smyth or something. I think he's won a few tournies. Haven't done my homework but they were probably $3 rebuys on stars or something haha."
Remember folks, homework is important!
Our only female contender, one ill cat defeated dannydiamond. Danny was as courteous as ever, "I was beaten by the better person. I wasn't at the races so good luck in the next round, well played Rob.....eh i mean Cat!" Sour grapes ftw.
Ste05 was another winner at the hands of ocallagh. This was a titanic battle that could have went either way. I was trying to catch a word with Ste05, but all i could hear was the sound of footsteps running down the hallway and chuckels of "dogged", "lol", "sucker".
Warpers victory over bohsman was a surprise in some peoples eyes. Despite having the higher ranking, many people considered bohsman as one of the favourites for the title and they will be glad to see the back of the gypsy.
Number 2, 4 and 11 seeds, Norwich Fan Rob, jackyback and White Knight all came through unscathed and will be looking to progress through to the next round depending on the draw.
We have 32 players left in the draw which will take place today. With the top 8 being paid, 2 more victories will guarantee each player some hard earned cash.
