Following Friday's largely poor day of action, the Players Championship Finals get up to speed today with Rounds 2 and 3 to be completed by the end of the day's affairs at Butlins Minehead.
Highlights from this afternoon's second round include a fast-paced bald Dutch meeting between World Number 1 Michael van Gerwen and Eurojobber Vincent van der Voort. Big Vinny has continued his whining about the PDC only catering to a select group of players, better known as "people that actually bother to compete on the floor and don't job like you do" so expect the Green Machine's best man to revert to Shpeedjobber status today. A rematch of the Worlds semi-final between Raymond van Barneveld and Adrian Lewis is next on, and with Barney having put in the best performance of round one in his defeat of Mensur Suljovic, Aidey will have to up his game if he is to avoid an early trip home (and presumably straight onto the nearest P&O ferry). There's also what guarantees to be a methodical affair between Peter Wright and James Wade; the Clown noticeably struggled against actual jobber Jason Wilson while the Machine got through a tight game against Mervyn King.
Coverage starts at 12:45pm GMT on ITV4 with the evening session from 7:00pm on the same channel.

Nolan Rodriguez
He isn't used playing on firm underground any longer.
Kevin Williams
Is Barney the only cure for Autism?
Lewis is total ass. Anderson can't add up. Filth is too buy redecorating the caravan. Clownman is psychologically shot at the GSOD.
Parker Sanders
At the moment: yes. But Gando was always shit before the worlds, I wouldn't write him off.
Asher Sanchez
Think of it this way: if MVG wins this quarter of the draw, he has one of the following four people in the semifinal:
>a gulping Dutch nobody who fluked a Lakeside victory >the slowest cunt in the world >an angry midget >Alan Norris, who is a good guy but is inconsistent as shit
Barney is the only one who can prevent MVG raping any of those 4.
Jackson Richardson
LE 121 MAN!
Gavin Fisher
Good god.
That is going to be painful to watch.
Lots of meatraffle-esque darts inbound.
