TOP SEEDS Adrian Lewis, Chris Mason and John Part are among the final players to qualify for the PartyPoker.net Las Vegas Desert Classic V. All three bounced back from losing in the latter stages of Monday's first qualifier to win their place in the main tournament, which begins on Wednesday. Lewis overcame American John Kuczynski on his way to the final game, where he defeated Darren Webster in a deciding leg. Mason won 4-1 in his final clash against Jason Clark to qualify, while Part - a former finalist in the tournament - ousted in-form Colin Osborne and Steve Maish on his way to qualification. Dennis Smith defeated Dave Smith in his final game, while Bob Anderson came from 3-1 down to win 4-3 against Lionel Sams. Blackpool's Wes Newton, who reached the semi-finals 12 months ago, won 4-1 against James Wade to book his return to the event. UK Open finalist and World Matchplay qualifier Barrie Bates' superb run continued when he knocked out American Roger Carter 4-2 in his final game - coming from 2-0 down to take the win. Another final game which went to the wire saw Steve Beaton win 4-3 against Gary Welding. The first round draw will be made at Tuesday night's gala dinner. The final qualifiers from the Ladies Singles are Tricia Wright and Marilyn Popp, who join Deta Hedman and Sally Smith in Saturday's on-stage semi-finals.
