With the end of the event near, the winners’ side top four included past event winners and touring pros alike, although most received their pink slip well before it was expected. Jeremey Sossie blew past multi-time tour stop winner Gandy Valle 7-5, then slipped past top pro Tony Robles 7-6 to reach the hot seat match. Alongside Sossie in the hot seat match was Adam Kielar, who slipped past Santos Sambajon Jr. double-hill before sending Park to the west side. The hot seat match was no contest as Kielar scorched Sossie 7-3, using his experience to his advantage.
On the one-loss side Park met Robles in the quarterfinals and advanced by a slim 6-5 margin, the second such defeat for Robles, who started the day on the winners’ side. Park, now in gear, blew past Sossie then, taking advantage of a rematch with Kielar, took the final match 7-4 to claim the top honors of the event.
