GWAAAAAAN THE BULLET

The moment occurred during the penultimate match of the Saturday afternoon session at the Euro Tournament in our neighboring country. Wattimena was not pleased with The Bullet’s behavior during this match, and despite the Englishman not being known for such antics, many still sided with Wattimena on this issue.
Nevertheless, Wattimena had to pack his bags and head home, as it was the Englishman who secured a 6-3 victory and earned a spot in Sunday’s matches. There, he will face Daryl Gurney, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals.

Later on Saturday evening, a series of Dutch and Belgian players will also compete for a place in the final day. Raymond van Barneveld will kick off the evening against James Wade, and two matches later, Gian van Veen will face Gerwyn Price. Michael van Gerwen and Dirk van Duijvenbode will take on Boris Krcmar and Chris Dobey in the final matches of the evening.
Additionally, Belgians Dimitri van den Bergh and Mike de Decker are still in the race, hoping to surpass Martin Schindler and Luke Humphries. There’s also the other Luke, as Littler will square off against Ryan Searle.
On Sunday evening, a prize of £30,000 is up for grabs for the winner, while the runner-up will receive £12,000. Anyone who makes it to Sunday is guaranteed at least £4,000, which is the prize for reaching the last 16. A spot in the quarterfinals earns £6,000, and £8,500 is awarded to those who fall in the semifinals.
