The action has begun on Saturday at the European Darts Grand Prix with Maik Kuivenhoven producing a shock win over Daryl Gurney.
A match which was level to begin the tie with Kuivenhoven managing to win two legs in a row at 3-3 to go into the position to win.
But Gurney fought back nicely to 5-5, the Dutchman produced when it mattered though with an 11-darter in the deciding leg.
Defending champion Ian White may not make the European Championship after a poor start to the European Tour but he claimed his first win with victory over Scott Waites.
The latter came back from 3-0 to claim a 4-2 deficit but that was little more than a consolation as White went on to claim the match 6-2.
