Levyfinn continued his impressive form with an emphatic victory over LJR Peixoto in Round 3 while Napoli’s Danipitbull showed his class in beating Matejs 7-3.
Samugamer, Nicolas99fc and Jonny all won three from three on the opening day, while on the second day, DFernandes gave his quarter-final ambitions a boost with a big 6-3 victory over Bonanno to start Round 4. Meanwhile there were two 6-6 draws, Tekkz and Ilian ending level, while Chris De Boer tied with Brice. In Round 5, a resurgent Fouma handed Jonny his first loss of the competition (7-5), while Jayden scored a crucial goal to defeat Brandsha 6-5 and earn a top-eight spot.
