With a 72 finish and a 13-darter, Jansen quickly grabbed a 3-0 lead against Wright. The Scot then took the fourth leg, but Jansen claimed another three legs on the spin to win 6-1 against the world number three.
Saturday's winner Gerwyn Price reached the second round with a 6-2 victory against Jimmy Hendriks, while James Wade beat Jose Justicia 6-3. Rob Cross had not many problems with Bradley Brooks (6-2), and Damon Heta knocked out Alexander Merkx (6-2).
Ryan Meikle stunned number one seed Dave Chisnall, while 12th seed Krzysztof Ratajski was beaten by Vincent van der Voort. Josh Rock also left the tournament after a 6-3 defeat to Darryl Pilgrim. Dimitri van den Bergh lost 6-4 to Mickey Mansell, while Jose de Sousa was beaten by Alan Soutar. Matt Campbell, Martin Schindler, Ross Smith, Brendan Dolan, Raymond van Barneveld, Mike de Decker and Steve Beaton are the other eliminated seeded players.
