I have bad news to report to all the Ren Kraft fans out there. As they say in Australia "He mucked it up". Yes, he let his opponent outfox him and he WON one. However our boy didn't let that faze him as he quickly regained his composure lost the next one. Darn almost a perfect tournament then to have this happen in his plate play-off. Well there's always next year.

Reg Bamford lost to Matthew Burrow after completing a sextuple against the "Beast." Reg had been one of the favourites as he came into the tournament ranked 1st in the world but the results so far in this tournament have allowed Fulford to regain the top position. I wonder if there will be more changes when this tournament is over on Saturday.
