The final stage featured eight players competing in a round-robin format with

pins, but his run in the last stretch secured the win.
In the deciding game, Kallio defeated his opponent scoring 267 and adding a
30-pin bonus. At the same time, Leskinen posted a 201 loss, which allowed
Kallio to complete the comeback and win the tournament by seven pins.
Kallio finished with a total of 3,108 pins, including bonus points, to take
the title. Roni Leskinen followed closely in second place with 3,101, while
Rami Mukkula completed the podium in third with 3,003.
Behind them, William Svensson placed fourth, Samu Valaranta finished fifth,

Tapanimäki rounded out the final eight.
For the win, Kallio earned €8,000. Leskinen received €6,000 for second place,
while Mukkula earned €4,000 for finishing third.
