Jan Simara who played very well against Piao Wenyao at the previous day, showed his skill once again at the front of Ogata Masaki. There were points when Jan's position looks promising, but after Ogata Masaki settled his group at the left side, Jan didn't get any chance to win.

Vanessa Wong who adapted the weather better than she did in the first round, still couldn't give a serious challenge to Mukai Chiaki. Mukai once again played a chase and kill game but this time, she was the hunter. Vanessa resigned after his big group in the center didn't get the chance to live.
