Those include Danny Noppert, Robert Marijanovic and Dirk Van Duijvenbode who all at the start of play were sitting on 10 points and potentially only needed another 1 to secure their card.
Noppert defeated Radoslaw Szaganski to reach the Last 16, DVDB defeated Christian Bune 5-1 and Marijanovic defeated Geert Nentjes 5-3.
Of the chasing pack, Davy van Baelen, Roxy-James Rodriguez and Jose Antonio Justicia Perales all seem close to cards as well with all 3 on 8 at the start of play today. Van Baelen won through 5-2, Roxy 5-1 and Jose 5-0.
All have tough tests in the last 16 though with van Baelen having Noppert, Roxy-James having Portela and Jose having Ratajski so it seems like those players who win their cards through the Order of Merit and the one player today will not be a shock.
