The first session of the German Darts Open is now over. Dylan Slevin, Mike De Decker and Cameron Menzies were the last three players to qualify for the second round this afternoon.
De Decker, who has been on a roll all year, had little trouble with Patrik Kovacs. The first two legs were split, but then De Decker won five legs in a row and thus the match. In the second round, he will face José de Sousa tomorrow.
Dylan Slevin also dented the return of Dutch-Swede, Jeffrey de Graaf. The latter showed character and came back to 4-4, but in the end, Slevin won 6-4 with a monstrous 142 checkout to win.
In the last match of the afternoon session, Cameron Menzies was too strong for Darius Labanauskas winning 6-5. After recent form, it wasn't Menzies' A game, but he did enough averaging 90 with four 180's against a player in no form at all and fading fast on the PDC Tour.

How much prize money is to be won?

All qualifiers are guaranteed £1,250, while the top 16 players on the placement list at the German Darts Open will receive £2,500 anyway. However, these 16 players must win their first game in the second round for the prize money to actually count toward the world rankings and other rankings.
Per victory, the prize money earned increases. For example, the finalists already receive a minimum of £12,000. The winner of the tournament goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
