Koltsov has claimed victories over
Diogo Portela (4-2),
James Hubbard (4-1),
Keelan Kay (4-2) and
Fallon Sherrock (4-1) as the Russian ace has only ties against
Martin Adams and his nearest rival
Justin Smith to go.
Smith claimed the first two group victories of Pool A with two brilliant series which have seen him achieve five wins and one defeat on both days and he still could claim a third having only played two games so far.
This has seen him defeat
Diogo Portela (4-2) and
Keelan Kay (4-2) but of course a pivotal tie could be against Koltsov as it will ultimately decide the group in the latter's favour if he wins even at this early stage of the day.
James Hubbard (3rd) and Diogo Portela (6th) and Keelan Kay (7th) are the only players to play four or more games. So
Fallon Sherrock and
Martin Adams in particular who have only played a few games still have a chance to mount a charge.
