The Group Stages are complete with the players through to the Last 64 set in Milton Keynes.

Read all the results and standings below!

Two wins seems to be enough to reach the Last 64 and win the group and for the likes of Owen Bates, Cam Crabtree, Adam Hunt and Andreas Harrysson, they have all done enough.

Bates saw off both Tavis Dudeney and Brandon Weening in his group, while for Hunt, it was wins over Wayne McRae and Lee Cocks with the latter being a 103 average.

Fallon Sherrock is out having lost to both Darren Beveridge and now Andreas Harrysson as the Swede moves through. Pero Ljubic is also through having seen off Justin Hood and Matthew Dennant.

Tom Bissell is also enjoying a good PDC debut, he has seen off both Niko Springer and Rhys Griffin to move through. Nathan Girvan has also averted the test of Max Hopp. Jeffrey de Graaf is also through as is Aden Kirk with both Lorraine Winstanley and Lisa Ashton gone.

The groups continue to finish thick and fast as Andy Baetens is already through having seen off both Dominik Gruellich and Leonard Gates. While Ryan Branley and Ryan Meikle are also through straight away.

Branley who comes with much promise saw off a certain Robert Owen who goes straight home. Jimmy van Schie is through his group after seeing off both Adam Paxton and Steve Lennon.

While Christian Kist will be looking for a favour ironically from John Henderson after beating him in a last leg battle. Berry van Peer is next with the Dutchman hitting a mammoth 117 average in his opening win.

Thibault Tricole is also through after defeating Kieran Thompson and Kai Gotthardt. The action continues.
