Eglesias went undefeated through the field. In the winners’ side final four, he matched up against Duane Toney and sent him to the left side with a decisive 7-4 victory and going on to face Kight for the first time in the hot seat match. Kight had just bested Chris Luethi 7-4, but he was out of steam and was sent to the semifinals by Eglesias 7-1.
