Benito van de Pas won through in a very good opening clash against Cristo Reyes to set up a potential match against either Michael Smith or Gerwyn Price. 'Big Ben' averaged 83.59 defeating Reyes by 2 sets to 1.
Reyes opened his account hitting a 68 checkout on D4 but couldn't then find a break and Benito got into the match to make it level pegging in the opening 2 legs.
Van de Pas once again hit D10 to get a vital break to go on the verge of the first set. He couldn't handle Reyes in the following leg with the Spartan hitting D5 for a level game.
Benito hit a 144 checkout for the set though with Reyes waiting to put the Dutchman in pole position.
Reyes came back to break in the opening leg with D5 to potentially be on the verge of winning a set. He did just that taking out 72 for 2-0. He cleaned up winning 3-0 with a 104 checkout.
In the deciding set, van de Pas hit D16 for an early break and followed that up with a brilliant leg to go one away. Reyes wasn't done holding his throw on D8. All Benito had to do though was hold his throw and Big Ben did just that to go through.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
