Wright did not get off to a good start and was facing a 3-0 deficit after three legs. However, with a 14-darter, 104 finish, 70 finish and a 10-darter, 'Snakebite' quickly turned around and was ahead 4-3. Heta then threw out 100 to make it 4-4. A 14-darter gave Wright the lead again, after which the Scot secured victory with a 62 check-out.
Humphries then became the last semifinalist at the Euro Tour tournament in Hildesheim after a 6-4 victory over Rob Cross. 'Cool Hand Luke' played another excellent match with an average of 106 and a 46 percent finishing percentage. In fact, it was his eighth consecutive 100+ average on the Euro Tour for Humphries.
Cross still managed to make up an 0-2 deficit, but then saw Humphries start the fifth leg with two 180s. The seventh and eighth darts also hit the treble, but the double 12 was missed for a nine-darter. An 11-darter did put Humphries up 3-2 before he doubled the lead with a 14-darter.
The deficit was halved after a 123 finish from Cross, but Humphries then threw an 11-darter to make it 5-3. Cross connected once more before Humphries put a 13-darter on the scoreboard for a 6-4 final score.
