Van Gerwen and Clayton easily through to finals day in Minehead

Burton won two of the first four legs against Van Gerwen, but was not able to keep pace with the two-time world champion. The world number one rushed into a 6-2 lead, before the Ipswich ace won another two legs and reduced the deficit to 7-4.
However, Van Gerwen found the accelerator again and came with 11- and 12-dart legs to move one leg away from victory. 'Mighty Mike' then secured the victory with an 83 checkout.
Clayton also booked a convincing victory as he defeated Ricky Evans 10-5. The Welshman averaged 90 with only 24 percent on the doubles.
