It was a very focused Andre Thieme that went in for the jump-off with Contanga.
Ben Maher and Diva II didn't had the luck with them in the second round and ended 17th.
The same went for Hans-Dieter Dreher with Embassy II. After a great first round, the second round didn't go as planned and they had to settle for 18th place.
