Group E: Mervyn King kept his hopes of qualification with a hard fought victory over James Hubbard. The game went to 3-3 before King went onto take the match 5-3. Hubbard isn't quite out yet, he needs a big win over Steve Beaton with Phil Taylor beating King convincingly.
The Power is almost through to the next stage after securing his second win over Steve Beaton. This match also went to 3-3 before Taylor took the following two legs to go through. Beaton needs to beat Hubbard and hope Taylor beats King to progress.
Group F: The shock of the night probably saw Magnus Caris comprehensively beat Barrie Bates. Bates has only won leg in his two games and will now face the exit after his final match against Paul Nicholson. Caris must better Wes Newton in the final game to progress.
Paul Nicholson is almost through after an exciting match against Wes Newton. The match see-sawed between the two them with each player taking the lead at points. But Nicholson came out on top in the deciding leg to put a foot in the next round. Newton just needs to beat Caris' scoreline to progress.
Group G: Jan Dekker convincingly beat Aaron Monk in the battle of the 21 year olds. Dekker stormed into a 3-0 lead before Monk posted a leg on the board. Dekker then went onto win 5-1 to help his legs difference immensely. Monk is almost certainly out with no points in either game, Dekker will have to beat John Part's scoreline to progress.
Mark Webster should also be in knock-out phase after his second win over John Part by the same scoreline. Webster also took a 3-0 lead before taking the match 5-1.
Group H: Vincent Van Der Voort is out of the competition after suffering his second defeat. Martin Phillips took a 4-1 lead before the Dutchman pulled a leg back. But Phillips wasn't going to be denied and will now face Co Stompe in the final game where the winner takes all.
Adrian Lewis booked his place in the last sixteen with a darting master-class against Stompe. Lewis hit countless 180s and had a three dart average of 109 after winning the match 5-1 from 1-1.
