Kenny started proceedings off in facing Luke Humphries, the current World Youth Champion and edged past claiming a 5-3 victory with a 90 average and four 180's en route.
The former WDF Number One followed that up with victory in the third game against Joe Murnan after the Hindley ace had claimed victory over Devon Petersen 5-1 which saw the African Warrior very much under par averaging only 75.
Like alluded to though, Kenny then saw off Murnan in a 5-2 victory which saw the latter miss ten darts at double en route to a 5-2 defeat which saw the former reach the top of the standings at the halfway point.
Devon Petersen and Luke Humphries will face off against each other with a defeat for either player meaning elimination. Will Kenny join Lewis, Woodhouse, Chisnall and Nentjes in the next round?
Luke Humphries (92.66) 3-5 (90.82) Nick Kenny
Devon Petersen (75) 1-5 (82.39) Joe Murnan
Nick Kenny (81.62) 5-2 (76.62) Joe Murnan
