    Gerwyn Price 8-2 Jonny Clayton

    The players will take a quick break, I need one too after the crazy pace the two Welshman have been playing this game at.

    That 10th leg was the worst from Gerwyn Price of the context, twice failing to check out with 10 remaining.

    It would still take something of a miracle for Jonny Clayton to turn this around.
