The Last 16 line-up is complete for the Players Championship Finals with Michael van Gerwen and Joe Cullen moving through albeit Mighty Mike did not have it all his own way against Cameron Menzies as he books a tie with Dimitri van den Bergh.
Menzies missed the chance for a shock win missing darts for 5-4 which allowed Van Gerwen to escape and just get over the line 6-4. Initially taking a 3-1 lead, Menzies then sealed parity at 3-3 and took the lead with a 60 checkout.
It then became 4-4 after which the aforementioned requisite leg proved vital as Menzies missed five opportunities for 5-4 and MVG snatched a break and despite some superb scoring, Menzies fell with MVG taking the win.
This was followed by Cullen easing past Huybrechts in a 6-1 win. Sheer darting dominance from 'The Rockstar' who produced a 92 average, six 180's albeit despite missing 12 darts at doubles throughout the tie, it was still an emphatic win.
