Dave Chisnall ended a brilliant night of darts by defeating Jelle Klaasen 2-0 in what promised to be one of the games of the night on paper between two of darts' highest scoring players but it was Chizzy who got through in a game slightly overshadowed by John Henderson's shock victory over Michael van Gerwen
Both Klaasen and Chisnall exchanged holds of throws in the early going in what was bound to be a closely contested match. Chisnall though took out 80 to win the first set 3-2.
Chizzy returned back with a fourth 180 and a 104 checkout to continue the momentum up in the second set. He then went one away hitting tops to make it 2-0 and one away from making it to the next round.
Chisnall finished the job of to win 2-0 against Klaasen with a 101.1 average compared to the Cobra's 84.05 and set up a tie against Robert Thornton in Round 2 and if he can get through that, especially with the exits of Van Gerwen, the absence of Anderson and Taylor and also the likes of Wright, Wade and Suljovic still to play, Dave Chisnall could become one of the favourites for the title after the field was blown wide open.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
