Saturday's results

Second Round (Best of 7 sets)

Keagan Brown is showing that he has the class to be a potential champion with a 4-2 win over Zoran Lerchbacher from Austria. I think that early wins like this say that there is potential there for him to be a champion in the near future

Another former world youth Champion Michael Smith lost in a thriller to fellow Englishman Rob Cross. I am not that sure how deep he can go in the tournament though   

Enlishman Steve West remains in the competition after beating Jermaine Wattimena from China this does show the potential of the Asian darts market  

This was one of the first real shocks this year as Daryl Gurney from Northern Ireland and a regular quarter finalist lost to John Henderson from Scotland 4-2  

Phil Taylor 4-0 Justin Pipe

Phil Taylor shows why he is called the Power with a demolition of fellow Englishman Justin Pipe. Taylor looks ready for anyone at the moment.

Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 Kyle Anderson

Dutch player Raymond Van Barneveld beat Australian Kyle Anderson 4-1 and look ready for any challenge that is put in his way,
