Set three really should have been for Bunting as well, but he missed a full hand to take the set 3-2. Those misses were punished by Razma, who threw out 119 to return the tension for a moment.

Bunting dashed all hopes of a comeback by convincingly winning the fourth set. Through two 15-darters and a 13-darter, Bunting gained a 3-1 lead in sets.

A 96 finish then also brought Bunting into the lead in set five, but he missed four chances to also grab an immediate break. Razma kept his own leg with a 54 checkout, before a 14-darter put Bunting within one leg of winning. Razma briefly kept himself in the match with a 149 finish, before Bunting still managed to decide the match with a 15-darter.
