Finals
Tassier's results set up a quarter-final with No. 4 seed John Hardie. In a high scoring game, Tassier prevailed 122 – 107 thanks to the nine ADDICTIVE. In the semi-finals, another nine, OUTBRAVES, swung the pendulum in his favour late on as Tassier defeated No. 1 seed Thomas Carey to set up a final with Jonathan Wynn.
