So we finish Day One here in Luton, and what a day for the blondes - whether it be Snoopy's meteoric rise at the beginning, and subsequent tight grip on his chips - flying the Updater flag - or JP Kelly's similar if more high variance effort...
Play restarts at 3pm tomorrow and we'll be back to watch the exciting conclusion to the £1,500 main event... live update will be running on the forum, as per usual.
