Van Gerwen denies Van Barneveld in last leg decider, Chisnall edges out Evans in thrilling contest

Michael van Gerwen and Dave Chisnall are the first players through to the final session of action at the Dutch Darts Masters in Zwolle.

Van Gerwen came through yet another last-leg decider where he was pushed to the limit by Raymond van Barneveld. The Dutch legend who was making his last competitive appearance in the Netherlands went up on MVG but it was a match that remained tight throughout but once it got to the last leg decider, MVG was as usual the favourite and he came through successfully.
