Danny Noppert opens the night against Premier League player Chris Dobey in what is sure to be a great way to set to the tone for the session.

Dirk van Duijvenbode takes on Ryan Meikle, who survived a hostile crowd yesterday to knock out the Austrian Rowby-John Rodriguez much to the crowds disappointment. Luke Humphries is up against former major winner Daryl Gurney, whilst Michael Smith faces off with 'Pikachu' Ricardo Pietreczko.

Rounding off the night and the second round, Michael van Gerwen faces a resurgent John Henderson before Martin Schindler plays Simon Whitlock for the final spot in the third round.
