Those top four players matched up against the next four highest qualifiers (each of whom finished 3-1 in their group): Juan Liu, Lily Zhang, Jian Li, and Jeremy Hazin.
In the top half of the draw, both matches were minor upsets with Jeremy Hazin topping Jishan Liang 4-3 and Jian Li defeating Lily Zhang 4-1. In the bottom half of the draw it was Kai Zhang over Dan Liu 4-2 and Xin Zhou over Juan Liu 4-1.
