Van Gerwen dumped out in opening round by Labanauskas on Day Three at PDC Super Series

The early results are coming in from the penultimate day at the PDC Super Series and Michael van Gerwen has suffered an early exit once again in Bolton.

Van Gerwen who lost in the latter stages to Jonny Clayton yesterday was beaten on the opening day early by Lewy Williams but has suffered a first round exit today.

Darius Labanauskas, a familiar foe from the 2019/20 PDC World Championship when they faced off in the Quarter-Finals has defeated Mighty Mike 6-3.

Van Gerwen averaged 99.3 but could only muster three legs which began the match as he surged into a 3-1 lead.

A big 150 finish from 'Lucky D' was the big catalyst as he went onto win five legs in a row to claim it 6-3.
