Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen have moved a step closer to qualifying for the last-16 of the Grand Slam of Darts after they both won on Sunday night.
Defending champion Taylor saw off the challenge of Mark Webster by a 5-2 scoreline, while Van Gerwen survived a Robert Thornton comeback to grind out a 5-3 victory.
Scott Waites and Ted Hankey remained in contention to progress through the group stages after they defeated Co Stompe 5-1 and Steve Beaton 5-3 respectively.
Simon Whitlock capitalised on a missed match dart by Kevin Painter to win 5-4 and he will qualify for the second round if he can beat Dean Winstanley, who produced a 100% checkout rate to beat James Hubbard 5-2.
Mervyn King averaged just below 100 to beat Arron Monk 5-3, while James Wade kept his tournament hopes alive with a comprehensive 5-1 win over Jan Dekker.
