Don't write off the live team just yet, as they've sent another two players through to round two with Bruno Portaro and Lisa Walsh both advancing in straight sets.

Walsh overcame Aleks Brkovic while Portaro's final hand saw his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} hold against the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} of a short-stacked Tony Dunst on a board of {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

The scoreboard now reads 5-3 in favour of the online team with half of the matches completed.
