 | Matthew Tassier It's only the 4th time there's been a max game in an Instant round, and it was a great game from one of this year's new players, this round's Strongest Link Adam. |
| Matthew Tassier George becomes the latest player to pull off the trick of declaring themselves out before a last-minute escape as Maria has a tricky end to her game and misses out on total tournament points. Just behind Marcus and Luke are both left just one solve short of safety, and Ravi's good run comes to an end. So, Maria, Marcus, Luke and Ravi you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Ravi Choudhary Terrific tournament, Matthew. And all the best to the remaining players. |
| Maria Chandler Thank you Matthew, brilliant tourney as always!

| Luke S Thanks, Matthew. Great tourney. |
