White averaged 104.7 in a brilliant 6-3 victory over Gabriel Clemens with four 180's en route compared to a 98 average from 'The German Giant' in heading out.
But for Nathan Aspinall, he has headed out of the tournament in the second round to the in-form Ross Smith with 'Smudger' averaging 99 with two 180's and 40% on the doubles, the latter statistic told the story with Aspinall averaging 101 but only hitting 3/13 (23%).
While Luke Woodhouse reeled off six consecutive legs from 4-0 down to defeat Andy Boulton 6-4 and become the first player through to the Last 16 before that. While Karel Sedlacek defeated Madars Razma with a brilliant 160 checkout also on Stage Two to win through in a deciding leg.
