Ryan Joyce lost his last group match to Chris Dobey, but the Englishman was already certain of the second round after two victories. Dobey in turn had no use for the victory. He had already been eliminated after defeats to Stephen Bunting and Rowby-John Rodriguez, who closed the evening. The winner follows Joyce to the knockout stage.
James Wade also qualified for the second round tonight. He defeated Rob Cross, who also qualified for the knockout phase on the basis of a better leg average than Jim Williams, which starts Wednesday with sixteen darts players. Price, Joyce, Wade and Cross were joined by Bradley Brooks, Rowby-John Rodriguez, Nathan Rafferty and Jonny Clayton for the quarterfinals tonight.
