The fifth match was one of the matches of the night on paper between
Raymond van Barneveld and
Kyle Anderson with the winner facing off against Steve Beaton in Round 2 and the man who will face 'The Bronzed Adonis' is Barney who defeated Kyle Anderson 2-0 in sets.
Kyle Anderson started proceedings very well, 'The Original' took out a 103 and then tops to get to 2-0 up but Barney wasn't going to give up a set that easily and he broke the Anderson throw pinning D10. Also he then got back on level terms to make it 2-2.
Anderson squandered two set darts and Barney hit tops for the first set after being 2-0 down. He missed double in darts when they returned and Raymond hit a 76 checkout to take the lead in set 2. Anderson made no mistake in leg 2 though taking out 102.
Barney followed it up in the next leg by following up a 165 with tops to go one away at 2-1. Kyle forced it into a decider picking out tops.
This didn't matter as the 2x runner up finished off 100 to win 2-0 in sets and get through.
