World Cup winning duo Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton are through to the Last 16 at the Grand Slam of Darts after victories over Mikuru Suzuki and Ryan Joyce respectively.
Clayton faced off against Suzuki who of course came so close to defeating Price on the opening night but 'The Ferret' saw off 'The Miracle' in a 5-0 whitewash win.
This included a 110 checkout to win and 50% on the doubles as Suzuki wasn't given a shot at the double throughout the tie.
While defending champion Price was very close to heading out of the tournament when he faced Joyce.
'The Iceman' was 4-2 down and staring down the barrel of defeat but survived one match dart en route to coming back to win 5-4 to claim Group G as the winner. He hit a 106.8 average in the end with a pivotal moment coming with Joyce missing a dart at the bull for the match.
Price returned to clean up double 20 to break and stay alive. He pinned double five from there to hold throw and turn it around to a decider making a winner takes all scenario with Price taking it.
