In the fourth round, Murdoch beat Norway's Thomas Ulsrud in an extra end, and Burtnyk defeated fellow Canadian Kevin Koe, for whom Blake MacDonald plays the last stones.Koe and Ulsrud did however make it through, Koe by defeating Peter Loudon and Ulsrud by beating Wayne Middaugh in the last round of B.
The four other qualifiers from C, coming the hard way through, were Middaugh, Loudon, Yusuke Morozumi and Hammy McMillan.

This is a very unique and interesting sport. It's not something we had seen until recently but the skill and craft of the players is amazing. Highly recommended.
