In their second-round match at the Wunderino Arena, Bunting upset Van Gerwen 6-4 to secure his spot in Sunday’s third-round tie.

After an unexpected 6-5 victory against Premier League superstar Nathan Aspinall, Steve Beaton continued his impressive play. The World Champion Michael Smith overcame a hand injury to defeat German prospect Niko Springer 6-4, while Peter Wright defeated James Wade 6-3 in a star-studded match. Welsh Premier League talents Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton qualified for the round of 16 with wins over Ted Evetts and Graham Usher, respectively.
