The popular former World Cup champion has not played well since winning with Peter Wright and will now have life on the Challenge Tour from next season ending his 12-year stint as a Tour Card holder since he moved over from the BDO.
He lost to Stephen Burton 6-4 to end his chances who has assured himself of a Tour Card through the Order of Merit.
The same can be said for Keegan Brown who makes an immediate return, Lee Evans who is still playing by close to being defeated by Owen Bates, as well as Adam Warner and Dylan Slevin. Only Burton and Slevin remain and are into the Last 32.
In terms of the current Order of Merit, Graham Hall looks almost likely with a healthy leg difference, with Conan Whitehead next up also looking good albeit precarious on six points.
It is mainly Ryan Harrington and Mark McGeeney in trouble with both on six points but out and only having a leg difference of +7. Adam Hunt was initially in the running but lost in the Last 32 to Michael Flynn, while Christian Perez is currently 2-1 up on Cliff Prior and could knock McGeeney out of contention.
Andy Hamilton also lost to Stephen Rosney and sits in the 10th spot, just outside the provisional nine so 'The Hammer' misses out.
