That is especially the case with the likes of Damon Heta and Lisa Ashton who are both into the Quarter-Finals and stand only two wins away from gaining a Tour Card.
Heta though had to do it the hard way coming from 4-1 down to defeat the experienced Gary Mawson 5-4 and the same can be said for Ashton who missed loads of match darts en route to edging past Stephen Burton 5-4.
Also through is Kai Fan Leung who for many has been one of the standouts over the past few days and his ton plus average exploits continue in Wigan as he smashed in a 102.3 average in easing past Adam Hunt 5-1.
Bradley Brooks is also close to regaining his Tour Card with 'Bamm Bamm' who was frustrated in losing yesterday making up for that by easing past Niall Culleton 5-2 to make the Quarter-Finals. It is also another good run for Steve Brown but he lost out to Michael Flynn.
