The clash of world champions between Darren Morgan and Wendy Jans was a closely fought affair with honours even after the first four frames. Wendy took frame 5 to be within one frame of overcoming the current European open champion. A break of 52 in the next gave Darren the frame to make it all square again with one frame left to play. Darren played some solid match snooker in the deciding frame to keep up the defence of his title. Darren will now meet Aiden Owens of England in what will be a replay of the IBSF masters quarter final in Qatar last november.

Kristjan Helgason had to dig deep against Marcin Nitschke in the deciding frame to book his place in the next round where he will play Adam Stefanów of Poland
