A similar situation exists in Group E. Stowe Buntz is leader in this group after surprising wins over Peter Wright and Stephen Bunting. However, these players already managed to win against Dave Chisnall, who has therefore been eliminated. Wright and Bunting still have to play each other and will decide in that match who will reach the second round with Buntz.

Group A is led by Michael Smith with four points. However, the world champion probably needs a win against James Wade to reach the knockout stage, assuming Nathan Girvan will not stumble against Krzysztof Ratajski. In theory, all four players could still advance to the next round, but the best papers for now seem to lie with number three Ratajski, who thus has yet to play Girvan.

Luke Humphries holds the first spot in Group C. 'Cool Hand Luke' can afford a narrow defeat in his final group match against Dirk van Duijvenbode. The injured Dutchman's big win over Steve Lennon and Gary Anderson's big defeat against Humphries means he still has a chance to make it to the last sixteen. However, Anderson has yet to face Lennon, leaving the Scot with an easier opponent on paper.
