Thornton started the final night in Group A. Thorn lost his first match against Ted Evetts (3-2), but won his second group match against Neil Duff (3-1). Evetts won the mutual duel with Duff (3-0) and moved into the semi-finals as number one.

Richie Burnett was the pool winner in Group B. The Welshman beat Adam Lipscombe (3-1) and Andreas Harrysson (3-1), with Harrysson being too strong for Lipscombe with a 3-0 win.

Evetts beat Harrysson 3-0 in the first semi-final before Thornton beat Burnett 3-1 in the second. This was the second time Evetts and Thornton had faced each other that night. This time it was Thornton who came out on top, with the Scot securing the title in Portsmouth with a 3-2 victory over Super Ted.
