had  a  special  significance  today. The contestants knew that the winners of the quarter-finals would be in  the  prize  pool  of  the  event.  That  increased  the  pressure considerably. Hoiss  seemed  to  be  able  to  handle  that  stress  a  bit better than his Dutch opponent. He was not really playing his A-game but  he  was  still  more  in  the  zone  than  van Oosterhout. After  four racks,  Hoiss  was  already  leading  3:1. Van Oosterhout  took a  time-out  and  tried  to  get  back  on track. But he could not get into shape the way he would have wanted to. He did win the first rack after the time-out but then Hoiss took four consecutive racks off him to make the score 7:3. That was probably too much for van Oosterhout. He could not come up with any more resistance and Hoiss was able to win the match with 9:4.

Lars Kuckherm  GER  v  Christoph Kugel  GER    9  :  3
