However, Kantele was not been able to take profit of that. Chisnall improved after the third leg and hit a 11-dart leg en route to the victory.
Three seeds crashed out already in Leverkusen. Justin Pipe and Richard North progressed earlier on the day, after defeating Ian White and Gerwyn Price. John Henderson continued his fine form and beat Kyle Anderson 6-4.
