Allen entered the final game in third place and stayed in that position as he finished with 3,830. Butturff closed with a 242 game to move from seventh to fourth in the final game with 3,804.

Kenny Ryan had a chance to make the show in the final frame but finished fifth with 3,794 and missed by just 10 pins. Needing a mark to secure a spot, the left-handed Ryan went high and left a 4-6-10 split for an open to be knocked out.
