Couldn't quite manage to break 600 though. Which will go first - 600 or 1000?

1000. Dinos's run was very generous, yet it would take quite a player to do so. Dinos is confirmed for the finals now though, not that we had any doubts :)

Well done to Stephen! Still an octochamp even though lowest score ever. Could be 8 octochamps at this rate so might end up as no.8 seed.

Well done to Steven- some on the edge of your seat games- especially the 2nd one when he was 25-ish behind - was wondering if there has been an octochamp who has become one from an even larger margin? I felt for Les, thought that he fell victim to declaring an invalid word and then being thrown off for the next few rounds, but did not strike me as an awful player....

Chris Thorn became one from a similar margin
