Vu le format, les éliminations se sont enchaînées dans le niveau suivant, avant que le rythme ne ralentisse en fin de journée. Jonathan Jaffe, Rainer Kempe, Timothy Adams, Chris Ferguson, Ben Yu, Sam Trickett (sorti par Deyra, ndlr), Sam Grafton, Olivier Busquet, Dan Smith et Ellio Fox (25e) ne seront donc pas au Jour 3 d'un tournoi qui promet encore des étincelles.
