Cullen went up from fourteenth to sixth place and he passed by Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright, among others. 'The Rockstar' was in danger of losing his seeding for future tournaments but has now diminished all doubts about that.
Michael van Gerwen is still ahead in the European Tour Order of Merit by a long way. The World Champion leads with £135,000 which is £46,000 ahead of Ian White. Daryl Gurney, Mensur Suljovic and Dave Chisnall complete the top five.
The top 32 players on the PDC European Tour Order of Merit after thirteen European Tours participate in the European Championship in Gottingen; with the last two events in Riesa and Gibraltar important in qualification.
