The series finals began as expected with Chris Cummins cruising past eighth seed Brian McKeon and scoring his seventh century in the process. The next match was a nailbiter between Stuart Earl and Eamonn Timmins, with the underrated Timmins snatching the game by a point after a crucial conundrum - the shock of the tournament. Solomons scored an unconvincing victory over Philip Whitnall, while Jim Bentley and Adam Laws went into a crucial conundrum at 78-78, with Laws unscrambling NIPPERAID in 11 seconds to earn a place in the semifinals. In the semifinals, Cummins again made short work of his opponent, this time scoring "only" 97 to Laws' 59. Solomons was not at his best against Timmins, who had the game wrapped up with two rounds to play. And so it came to the final, with the first seed facing off against the seventh.
