'Machine Gun' wrapped up the opening set 3-1 taking out 92 in the process with 75% on the doubles but after a superb opening, Wattimena went off the boil and Kenny sealed it 3-1 to level up the match despite both not finding their scoring power with no 180's to begin the tie.

But Wattimena returned to the foray with a second 180 and a 156 checkout to double his lead. His poor finishing lead to Kenny breaking to halve the deficit but Wattimena closed out the third set 3-1 to regain the upperhand.

A break in the form of a 56 checkout saw Wattimena go one away and he sealed it on double two with Kenny back on 119.
