The first action of the evening session is complete at the European Darts Grand Prix and among those through include Kim Huybrechts.

In facing John Henderson, it was a battle of two World Cup of Darts participants but it was Huybrechts who came out on top. He claimed it 6-2 with two 180's and 6/14 on his doubles this was compared to only 2/7 from his opponent.

Max Hopp will also be at the World Cup of Darts alongside Gabriel Clemens and despite a big disparity in their averages, it wasn't an easy game for the Maximiser.

He claimed it 6-4 with a 25 checkout with Ljubic missing a 129 checkout to level the tie up at 5-5. In terms of statistics, he hit 12 140's, two 180's and 6/17 on the doubles in moving through to the second round.
