Van Gerwen had previously only lost to Michael Smith, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Peter Wright this year but Wattimena who's performances on the
Pro Tour have threatened this has ended 'Mighty Mike's Players Championship Streak.
Rob Cross remains the highest ranked player left in today and will now be favourite for the title. He though only just scraped through against Mickey Mansell 6-5.
Other big names through include Dave Chisnall, Jelle Klaasen, Mervyn King and James Wade all of which have not been in the best form but have been finding it again as of late.
Ryan Joyce continues his brilliant start to his
PDC career by knocking out Robert Thornton 6-1 and Josh Payne has continued a great day by knocking out yesterday's finalist Chris Dobey 6-2.
