Price got resistance from Yuanjun Liu in the first four legs, but never really staggered. From 2-2, 'The Iceman' rumbled into 5-2 lead, before he hit a 14-darter to finish the game in style.
Wade didn't even drop a leg against Hai Long Chen. The difference between 'The Machine' and the Chinese qualifier was too big. The Aldershot ace produced a 103.66 average, almost fourty points higher then his opponent (67.82).
