A Wager!
Gary Clarke called me over to his table to discuss important business.
He and three other players at the table have a bet that needs to be documented, and they have chosen the official channel that is the Unibet Open blog to ensure that there’s no funny business come tomorrow. They have each picked a number that they believe will represent the final number of runners in this tournament when registration closes on Day 1b. These are their choices:
Ian Simpson: 245
Eduard Winterwerp: 243
Tomasz Kozub: 231
Clarke: 207 (I am of course completely impartial, but really Gary? Surely that’s way too low!)
The stakes are high; I understand that there is a whole round of drinks riding on this. Consider it documented, gentlemen.
