They saw off Poland in a clean sweep with Heta in particular impressing against Krzysztof Kciuk and Whitlock showing real grit to edge past Krzysztof Ratajski.
Speaking afterwards, they admitted they have the belief and that are looking to win for each other so it spurs them on.
"Just as happy. That was a great solid performance from the pair of us. They all mean the same to me, I want to win tournaments. I don't want to let my partner down, I give a hundred percent every time," said Whitlock post match.
"I said to Simon earlier, I feel more comfortable today than yesterday. I think yesterday I was a bit on edge but today I was really pumped. I just felt better and I felt really comfortable," said Heta.
"We believe, we think that we can beat anybody. We are just taking this tournament as it comes."
