Michael Smith, Peter Wright, Raymond van Barneveld all through as first round concludes at Players Championship 13

The first round has concluded at Players Championship 13 with Michael Smith, Peter Wright and Raymond van Barneveld among the leading lights who have moved through in the latter stages.

Albeit Wright in particular was poor despite a 6-1 win. He saw off Madars Razma with only a 76 average. Perhaps not helped by the fact his opponent also averaged 77. While Smith showed how it is done with a ton topping average to take down Darren Beveridge 6-1.

Dimitri van den Bergh was beaten by Danny Jansen, but there was a victory for Raymond van Barneveld who saw off Adam Gawlas. James Wade also impressed seeing off recent ProTour winner Alan Soutar with a 101 average 6-3.

With the second round well underway, Gary Anderson and Nathan Aspinall are both already through with Martin Schindler and Danny Noppert the two biggest names to fall thus far from that round.
