The first round has began at Players Championship 10 with the first 16 ties on each of the boards now complete.
Raymond van Barneveld is on Board One and started in superb fashion. The doyen of Dutch Darts eased past Mike de Decker in a vintage display 6-1 with a 113 average.
Albeit, there were defeats for familiar names with Simon Whitlock, Martin Lukeman, Steve Beaton, Gary Anderson and Daryl Gurney.
Victories though for Chris Dobey with a 104 average against Krzysztof Kciuk, Callan Rydz, Vincent van der Voort, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Gabriel Clemens.
