Labanauskas who lost his streak of first round victories last week in Hildesheim made sure he made it through this time around. It was a 92 average for the Lithuanian ace who will move through to face 14th seed Mervyn King tomorrow.
Payne similarly hit an 92 average in seeing off another of the Host Nation Qualifiers in Dirk van Duijvenbode. What awaits the Gravesend ace is Darren Webster.
This win also seemingly keeps his World Grand Prix hopes very much alive especially with a lot of the players around the cut off not in action in Maastricht.
