After two lost finals in a row the Irishman managed to win this time. In the final he wins 4-3 against the Englishman Charlie Manby.
In the last sixteen, Barry takes a win over Samuel Vargovsky. After Nathan Girvin is also beaten, Barry wins the semi final after a 4-3 win over Sebastian Bialecki. Manby reaches the final after victories against Pim van Bijnen, Connor Arberry and Owen Roelofs, among others. Roelofs is also the best Dutchman, but cannot reach the final for the first time.
