Quarter-finals to finals
O'Sullivan conqueror Tian Pengfei , listed at number 116 in the world rankings , was the biggest surprise in the quarter-finals, even if it was over for him. He lost just as tightly 3: 4 as the world number one Mark Selby , who had won the first European Tour event in Riga two weeks earlier . So Judd Trump and Mark Allen remained the only top ten players in the tournament. They also prevailed in the semi-finals and moved into the final.

final
The very first frame of the final was very close: Judd Trump missed the decision, Allen was able to equalize on points and then punched the Respotted Black . It stayed close until the 2: 2, then the Northern Irish used a bad safety from Trump and got his third frame. Allen, who had given a 3-0 lead at the final in Riga two weeks earlier , did better this time and made the tournament victory perfect with a high break in the sixth frame.
