At this point, Williams had to face Adam Wheeler in the match to determine third place.  Wheeler had his first loss of the tournament to Williams earlier in the day, and this time it didn't look as if his luck had changed.  Except for the third rack, Wheeler didn't win o­ne game, allowing Williams to win their match 9-1.

Far from being a rematch of the hot seat, in the finals, neither Morris nor Williams ever gained more than a o­ne-game lead o­n his opponent.  The number of balls either had missed could be counted o­n o­ne hand.  The match seesawed until the score reached 10-all going to 13 when Williams won the next two games and then broke in the 9 ball o­n the last rack, winning by the score of 13-10.
