After the 48 matches in the group phase, it's back to the norm with everything straight knockout as the Grand Slam of Darts enters its second round. It's the top half of the draw tonight, and barring one match it doesn't look like it's gonna be pretty.
Opening our coverage is a match with no desired winner as Ulster dullard Brendan Dolan plays cheating Welsh roidlet Gerwyn Price. Dolan defeated the soon-to-be ruined Max Hopp and a cancer-suffering Martin Adams, while the Iceman benefited from Russ Bray's inability to count to top Group B.
Next is what should be a very simple victory for Stoke's Phil Taylor over the amicable Canadian Jeff Smith. While The Silencer was not the strongest scorer in his group, it was his finishing and composure that sent Simon Whitlock packing; however, with accounts such as "PDT1960", "fifecaravanlover99" and "iloveyvonne" on numerous betting sites gaining him some easy winnings after a "whitewash" by angry midget Darren Webster, a recomposed Philth will surely be too much for Smith.
The tightest match of the evening should be next with reigning champion Michael van Gerwen against Robert Thornton. Wee Rabbie only got through thanks to a 9 dart shootout victory over Dimitri Van den Bergh and is one of the few players who isn't scared by the Autism Express, and with MVG inconsistent in the group stage, there could be a shock on the cards.
Closing the evening is "Scotsman" Peter Wright against eternal BDOer Darryl Fitton. The Madness-strutting jobber reached this stage following a terrible win over dab sensation Ian White and given how bad he's played in the group, this should be an easy victory for Clownman.
Coverage starts at 7:00pm UK time on SS1.

Did I totally miss Blubber or was he too shit to qualify for this tournament?

Ethan Thomas
The latter probably
Henry Morales
Without any intention to defend the manlet: Has he taken any advantage from that? Doesn't seem like a big difference for me having 31 or 41 left, despite being able to go for tops.
