Jojo Delia (MLT) lost to Kevin Synnott (Eng) by a single point, 392-393, and is now the unluckiest player in the event, having lost six games by a total of 89 points.

Chinedu opened against Ray with ZOWIE (54) keeping AS, drew the blank along with ERRV, made a 42-point play keeping ?RR, drew ?IRU and then bingoed fURRIeR.
