Austrian Thomas Gross (pictured) posted the highest 3-game series with 728 to leap into second place with 2130.
Next are Nick Plummen (2124), Netherlands, and England's Stuart Williams (right, 2105) and Paul Moor (left, 2064), who rolled sets between 668 and 697 to secure a spot in the next round. Tina Hulsch, Germany, is the sole woman among the top 8, with 2061. Therewith Hulsch has won the women's rankings of the tournament, which is the fourth stop of the 2006 European Bowling Tour.
Rounding out the top 8 are German internationals Achim Grabowski (left, 2054), who won the last EBT stop in Tilburg, and Michael Krämer. Krämer (right), who hit the cutoff number in qualifying posted a 689-series to help grab the final qualifying post with 2037.
The top 8 will bowl seven match play games (30 points per win, 15 points per tie, 10 points for every game score between 250 and 300) to determine the four players for the stepladder finals. The winner will receive the 5.000 Euro top prize.

Osku Palermaa refuses to fall in Luxembourg
Qualifying leader Osku Palermaa led the top 20 players into the third round at the Ebonite International Luxembourg Open after averaging 251,50 for his six games in Round 2. The Finn had games of 278, 255, 227, 247, 245 and 257 for 1509 pinfall total.
Trailing Palermaa by 82 pins to sit in second place is Dutch Nick Plummen with 1427. Newly crowned Belgian champion Jean-Marc Lebon (left) started with the round with the field-best 279-game to land in third place with 1421. European men's ranking champions Paul Moor (right) is 7th with 1396.
His female counterpart, Britt Bröndsted (left) of Denmark (18th, 1309) will battle it out for the best woman in Luxembourg with two Germans, Tina Hulsch (11th, 1356) and Tanja Theissen (right; 17th, 1316).
Multiple French champion Isabelle Saldjian tied with Ronald Dol, Netherlands for 20th place with 1304 but failed to advance thanks to Dol's higher last game (231-194).
The top 20 will bowl another three games to cut to the round robin field of 8, who will determine the four players for the stepladder finals over seven games of match play. The winner will receive the 5.000 Euro top prize.
