The Civic Hall in Wolverhampton hosts a more intense session of Grand Slam of Darts action as the last 16 gets started. The winning post doubles in distance to 10 as the bottom half of the draw progresses.
Starting off round 2 is a duel of dartitis as former sufferer Mensur Suljovic faces current sufferer Berry van Peer. Bionic's plight in the group stage captured the hearts of most darts fans as his inability to throw sent him to tears, but still had the belief to beat Simon Whitlock and Cameron Menzies to advance. The Gentle will know what Berry is going through, but needs to compose himself and get a big win.
The BDO's last man standing is next as reigning Lakeside champion Glen Durrant plays 2010 runner-up Dave Chisnall. Duzza has shown he can compete over the short format, averaging 102 in the group stage and defeating 2 of the PDC's top 16 players. Chizzy failed to beat Jeffrey de Zwaan but crucially Scott Mitchell lost his last game. The Boro man lost 10-5 to Raymond van Barneveld at this stage last year, and the added experience will surely set him up to be the first "amateur" quarter-finalist since 2013.
Master and apprentice then meet with Gary Anderson against Michael Smith. Gando has been typically ruthless, dropping just 6 legs in Group H, while Bully Boy has shown a new level of maturity after scraping through Group G. With both men big power scorers, this could be one heavy hitting game.
Ending the night are Stephen Bunting and Peter Wright. Surprisingly, it's Bunt Man who comes into this game with the better form, topping Group F while Clownman scrapped about with Alan Norris to escape Group E. Their last meeting saw Bunt choke his way out of the World Grand Prix, so anything could happen.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports Action.
>Tonight's matches (best of 19, first to 10) Mensur Suljovic v Berry van Peer Glen Durrant v Dave Chisnall Gary Anderson v Michael Smith Stephen Bunting v Peter Wright
>Gando vs. Bully They will need to cool down the T20, otherwise it might ignite under the rapid fire.

>last year, 5 out of the 8 BDO representatives made it to the last 16 >this year, only 1 did What's this reason for this?
Better PDC field?
Some of last year's BDO qualifiers being rubbish this time around?
Bentley Barnes
What will it be tonight, user?
They'll go medival on the T20.
I don't know but I guess a bit of both.

bit of both, the BDO qualifiers are largely fucking terrible no based wolfie either to provide his inspiration

>0 (zero) points last year
Ian Hall
>the BDO qualifiers are largely fucking terrible McGeeney especially was a disgrace. BDO #1 and he only starts playing the moment he's eliminated. Same goes for Hughes.
Monty and Mitchell unsurprisingly shat themselves and I don't think anyone expected Machin to do any better than he did.
The only ones I want to see switch from this year's qualifiers are Durrant, Noppert and Menzies. But with Chris Mason having mentioned on Twitter how the BDO are going to be withholding Lakeside money for anyone going to Q-School, those guys are stuck.

Don't care if dartits or not. I just can't stand this style of play.
Daniel Young
This is unreal from Mensur.
A dartitis-less Berry would be struggling here, let alone the current iteration.
Xavier Brooks
This 109 average is only more impressive considering he's playing it without any help from Barry. He checked every leg by himself.
