They will now though due to the draw meet in the Last 64 in the Players Championship but it is better for Barney in particular who has had some horrific draws over the past few days which have blighted his progress.
Also through include Dave Chisnall, Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson and Daryl Gurney with Chisnall in particular continuing his good run of form after a bad year in 2017 for the St Helens ace.
There were early exits for the likes of Terry Jenkins, Chris Dobey and Kim Huybrechts though. Jenkins was smashed 6-1 by Mark Webster, Dobey lost out in a thrilling match with Madars Razma and Huybrechts was smashed in a whitewash loss against Mickey Mansell.
