Ricky Evans forced a setdecider against Van Barneveld. The Kettering ace took an 1-0 lead and thought he would get three darts to break the Dutchman's throw. However, Barney had other plans and hit a phenomenal 164 checkout to keep the momentum.
The five-time world champion pushed through and beat 'Rapid Ricky'
2-1 in sets. Van Barneveld returns on stage on Tuesday, where he will face Dave Chisnall in the second round.
