With only four players left going into the semifinals, McAninch and D’Marco were in a rematch that saw McAninch as the ultimate winner, with the score 3-1. only minutes earlier, Harriman had finished as the victor of his match against Nevel, winning by the same score of 3-1. Going into the finals, Harriman was the only one of the two who had not used his buy-back option. Therefore, for McAninch to win, he would have to beat his opponent twice. This match was also on the featured table under the hot lights. The score was 2-2 for sets when Harriman missed a long rail bank and left a dead crossbank for McAninch, who banked two and out, winning the match 3-2. Now Harriman had some added pressure on him. However, he managed just fine, winning the first two sets to make McAninch feel the heat. After awhile, though, both players appeared tired, possibly from the hot lights, and were finding it hard to run two balls in a row. Finally, with the score 4-2 Harriman, McAninch sold out on a long rail 7 ball attempt, leaving Harriman the choice of two banks. Harriman made a nice crossbank on the 8 ball, winning the match 3-0.
