The cards are now sliding across the table for Day 1b of the Mystery Siege of Malta. It looks set to be busier than the afternoon flight, with 84 entries so far, at the start of level 2. Taking his seat for the first time during this festival is Maltese Londoner Joe Grech.

There were 128 players in Day 1a, which is now down to 31 players, all vying for a place as one of the last 19 who will progress into Day 2.
