Dobey began by defeating world No. 2 Peter Wright 6-3 before defeating Nathan Aspinall 6-4 to qualify for the championship round.

Following his victory, Dobey is leading the field with five points and will step into next week’s event as one of the favorites.
Van Gerwen moves up to second place on the preliminary table with three league points after victories over Michael Smith and Dimitri Van den Bergh. Additionally, quarterfinal victories over Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price allow semifinalists Aspinall and Van den Bergh to leave Belfast with two points each.
