The big story was Gary Anderson getting hammered 6-0 by James Wade. Anderson flopped with a 77.40 average, and Wade was ruthless.
MvG came from 3-5 down to win 6-5 against Simon Whitlock.
Number 2 seed Mensur Suljovic impressed with a 104.26 average, second only to Phil Taylor. Kim Huybrechts and Robert Thornton among the seeds to fall.

Second Round
No big shocks this round, as all the favourites won comfortably. MvG beat Gerwyn Price 10-2, Phil Taylor and James Wade both winning 10-3 over Cullen and Hopp respectively.

Sully leading 8-4. A final appearance will certainy boost his chances of a PL place. Will be top 10 in OoM.

If you're having a night at the darts and Suljovic and Pipe are drawn to play each other then tell the Mrs not to wait up.

Great finish there from Sully. Just as it looked as his race had run.

Trying to think of a player outside of GB/Ireland, Netherlands and Australia to have reached a TV final in either PDC or BDO. Sure there has been one.
