The second round of this championship commences today and 16 players will now be happy to be over the first hurdle. With an enormous £70,000 to be shared among the victors, the going will be tough and highly competitive from now on. Seeded to be on the rink in the first match is popular CECIL BRANSKY (ISR), if he succeeds in the first round.
