Luke Humphries and Michael Smith among first round casualties at Players Championship 2

Jurjen van der Velde recorded the finest victory of his darts career by defeating world champion Luke Humphries in the first round of Players Championship 2.

Van der Velde came back from a 1-3 deficit to win 6-5 over Humphries. Another big-name casualty in the early stages has been former world champion, Michael Smith. 'BullyBoy' went down in a deciding leg to the American, Danny Lauby Jr.

Winner of yesterday's Players Championship 1, Luke Littler was again impressive in victory over Danny Noppert. The teen sensation sealing the win with a stunning 110 checkout. Peter Wright also got off to a much-needed winning start with victory over Alan Soutar.

The poor start to the season continues for Dave Chisnall however. After a shock defeat to Michele Turetta yesterday, 'Chizzy' has gone down 6-2 in the opening round to Oskar Lukasiak today.
