“I prepared for this the straightforward way,” Thomas said, as the bowls were cleared away. “I didn’t eat for four days.”

Dalliday bowed out of the competition early on, shortly after requesting his second bowl.

He admitted to making a strategic error earlier in the day.

“I did have a blizzard for breakfast. That was probably my first bad move,” Dalliday said.
