Askew was facing off against Arron Monk who turns 30 today and hit a 180 and a 156 checkout in the decider to snatch the victory away from the former World Youth Champion and recover from an early poor display against Jarred Cole - where he lost in a whitewash defeat.
Cole couldn't continue from his initial victory and lost out in his second game to Andy Jenkins who claimed a 5-3 win to make it back-to-back with a 94 average and a high checkout of 137. Could today be the day when Jenks is back?
Monk finally recovered from the aforementioned defeat to Jason Askew by seeing off Robert Collins in a 5-3 win with a 97.3 average. Can he remain at the top today?
