V drugem krogu so lokalni matadorji izlo&#269ili kar tri zvezde pro toura. Izpadli so Mick Fanning (AUS), Phil MacDonald (AUS), Trent Munro (AUS) (ki so bili lani 3., 5. in 6. v skupni razvrstitvi), precej dela pa je imel tudi Andy Irons, ki se bo v tretjem krogu spet sre&#269al z Manoa Drollet-om, ki ga je izlo&#269il v prvem krogu. Heiarri Williams (PYF) je povedal v polomljeni angleš&#269ini: "Mick Fanning surfed good, but I surfed better than him. All my friends and family in the channel were screaming, ‘Go Heiarri, go,’ so I went and I made it. I even cried afterwards. I am so happy." Williams se bo v tretjem krogu sre&#269al z Kelly Slaterjem (USA) in bo spet imel mo&#382nost za presene&#269enje. Z zmago nad Panchom Sullivanom je v tretji krog napredoval tudi Francoz Mikael Picon. Zanimivo je, da se je to zgodilo prav na spotu Teahupoo, saj Francoza vsi obravnavajo, kot surferja za beachbreake, Hawaii&#269ana Panchota pa za power surferja mo&#269nih valov na Hawaiih. Najbr&#382 ni treba razlagati, da Teahupoo ni beachbreak.
