In the hot-seat match, Ian Argue ran out of steam as Erik came out on top with a convincing 11-2 score. Ian then faced John Morra in the b-bracket finals. John Morra played perfect securing his spot in the finals with a 12-0 whitewash.  Only two players remain, John Morra and Erik Hjorleifson.  Erik got the best of John at the last tour stop in Toronto.  John Morra reclaimed his supremacy as he won the final match of the event 9-7.
