Eljanov accepting So’s offer
Wesley So didn’t feel like rocking the boat with the black pieces versus the super solid Pavel Eljanov and offered a quick draw. Eljanov accepted and all this transpired while some players hadn’t even begun their play, yet alone arrived at the board (Gawain Jones on the top boards among those)
This secures them both share of the top prize money and means they are joint winners along with possibly some other players who can catch up in the last round, Giri being among those.
