Hernandez slipped to third place behind a 1688-series today with 3646 overall.
Rounding out the top 8 were Daniel Lim, Malaysia (5th/3576), Stuart Williams, England (7th/3550) and Ahmed Shaheen, Qatar (8th/3521). The top 8 after tomorrows third and final 8-game block (one lane short, one lane long oil) will advance to the best-of-three-game single elimination finals.
