Eight more names will seal their spot in the last sixteen at the European Darts Grand Prix. On Saturday night the last eight matches from the second round are on the program, with some big names involved.
Right away in the first match of the evening, it is Raymond van Barneveld's turn. The five-time world champion will face off with Andrew Gilding in the last 32.
Nathan Aspinall next faces Jose de Sousa, before Luke Humphries takes on Chris Dobey. Gerwyn Price meets the lightning-fast Ricky Evans in the second round.
The fifth match of the evening is between Joe Cullen and Josh Payne, while Martin Schindler then takes to the stage for his duel against compatriot Gabriel Clemens.
Jonny Clayton will next battle Ross Montgomery before Dimitri van den Bergh and Krzysztof Ratajski close out the evening in another top affair.
This year, for the first time, the Euro Tour tournaments will be broadcast by Viaplay. The afternoon sessions start at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00.
Furthermore, the European Darts Grand Prix can be watched via PDC TV. A subscription is required to access this live stream.
During each Euro Tour tournament, £175,000 in prize money is distributed. All qualifiers are guaranteed £1,250, while the top-16 seeded players on the European Darts Grand Prix will receive £2,500 anyway. However, these 16 players must win their first game in the second round for the prize money to actually count towards the world rankings and other rankings.
Per win, the prize money earned increases. Thus, the finalists already get a minimum of £12,000. The winner of the tournament goes home with the top prize of £30,000.
