Van Gerwen was facing off against Kim Huybrechts and claimed a 6-1 win breezing past 'The Hurricane' despite only averaging 87.

Wright similarly wasn't at his impressive best as he saw off Mark McGeeney 6-3 averaging only 86. Price continued his brilliance with a 101 average against Martin Atkins (Wigan) winning in a whitewash.

For Krzysztof Ratajski and Dave Chisnall, yesterday's finalist though; it is the end of the road today. The former lost out to Andrew Gilding in a 6-5 defeat while for the St Helens ace he lost out in a decider to Rowby-John Rodriguez.

Dimitri van den Bergh is looking to strengthen his grip on a World Matchplay place and he is going the right way about it. A 109 average saw him ease past Reece Robinson 6-1.
