Recently crowned European Champion, Peter Wright has joined the likes of Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Jonny Clayton in taking an early exit at Players Championship 29 in Barnsley.

'Snakebite' was unable to overcome Jamie Hughes in the opening round, going down 6-4. For Wright, this could be a costly disappointment as his hopes of qualifying for the Players Championship Finals now hang in the balance and the two-time World Champion will require a big day's performance at tomorrow's final Pro Tour event of the season.

Wright wasn't the only big name to be shocked either. Michael van Gerwen suffered a defeat to Lee Evans in his first round tie, 6-4. Gary Anderson has also departed early, going down 6-2 to one of the revelations of recent events, Radek Szaganski, whilst Jonny Clayton has also a disappointing defeat, falling to Madars Razma 6-2.

Meanwhile the likes of Gerwyn Price, Dave Chisnall, Danny Noppert, Michael Smith, Josh Rock, Raymond van Barneveld, Rob Cross, Andrew Gilding, Chris Dobey, Gian van Veen, Stephen Bunting, James Wade and more all secured safe passage.
