New and experimental this round in our web coverage, a webcam, running off an old Apple iSight sitting in front of me and pointing at table one.

This round's annotated game saw Adam Logan (CAN) play Naween Fernando (AUS). The two of them, along with David Boys (CAN) were the only three undefeated players remaining. Kristen expressed surprise that Adam spent six minutes working out his end game, but it was a relatively close game.

We've had to put up stanchions around Table 1 already, the earliest I can remember this happening at a WSC. There's a lot of interest in the leaders, with much talk about about who the likely finalists will be.
