Price was the first player through breezing past Luke Humphries in a 6-0 win as he hopes to eradicate his good and bad spell on Thursday during the PDC Summer Series.

Smith hasn't had the best of it in recent days but he averaged 106.4 in seeing off Mervyn King 6-3. In terms of notable scalps, Glen Durrant is out after going 4-2 up he succumbed to a 6-5 defeat against Gavin Carlin.

Mensur Suljovic was one of the standout players yesterday but he too will not play any further part after losing 6-5 to Andy Hamilton. Rob Cross is out having lost out in a decider to Mickey Mansell. Also through include the likes of Nathan Aspinall, Ian White and yesterday's finalist Dave Chisnall as first round continues.
