GM Roland Salvador of Philippines is also in the shared second place after beating Guido Caprio. The untitled junior, who already beat three Grandmasters in this event, missed the winning move and gradually slipped into the worse Rook endgame.

IM Kenny Solomon of South Africa stunned the second seeded GM Ivan Sokolov, while his friend IM Simon Ansell held GM Oleg Korneev to a draw. IM Federico Manca claimed another victory against a Grandmaster, this time his victim was Milan Drasko.
