Clayton then got to start the ninth leg, but missed three chances on tops to take over the lead. Searle then threw out 60 to make it 6-4. That ultimately proved to be the neckbreaker for Clayton, as Searle then decided the game with a 78 checkout.
Heta then overcame a poor start in his match against Ritchie Edhouse. The latter managed to take an 0-2 lead at the beginning of the match, but Heta repaired the damage with a 16-darter and a 105 finish.
The Australian then took the lead for the first time in the match with a 16-darter. He then broke Edhouse with a 17-darter, before Heta made it 5-2 with a 17-darter after Edhouse missed one dart on double 18. In the eighth leg, Edhouse missed three more doubles before Heta took the match to his own with a 96 checkout.
