In the last 32, Pinches defeated Brierley 4-3, with two half-century breaks. He continued his winning run, overcoming Patrick Whelan and Billy Castle 4-3 in deciding frames. Breaks of 62 and 69 helped him defeat James Lee 4-2, advancing to the final against Highfield.

Robertson, who played a later match, dominated after Maneshgar had a tough 3-2 win over John Kocela in the semifinals. Robertson had earlier won 3-1 against Stephen Folan. The tournament featured great action throughout the day, highlighting the players' improving skills. A big thank you to Jonathan Sun and the Top 147 team, Rob Johnson and AAA Photography for the poster, and Sam Tonning for behind-the-scenes help.
