This was worth 42 points from scooping both opponents — 25 from Alexander Dovzhenko, and 17 from Lars Hellmuth. It could have been worse for Hellmuth were it not for his Kings up top.
Ethem Tosun had two spaces on his bottom row and needed to improve to two pair or better to not foul his hand. He drew two fives to complete his board, but his joy was short-lived as both of his opponents had him beat, with only his kings avoiding the double scoop. He still lost 13 points to both opponents.
