My money's on Steve West for the bottom quarter now, bit of karma for Price but 2 quality performances of the night from Peterson and Aspinall, that would have been a nice double with the bookies.

Still, if you're going to act like a dickhead on the stage, you kind of deserve all you get.
Possibly, but he did win the GSOD.

True, but that was also the event where he made the casual fan aware of him and his belligerent manner. He can probably expect a similar response wherever he plays now. It's like Nicholson won the Players Championship and tried to get under Taylor's skin. A few tonkings from the King of the Camper Van later, he was never the same again.

It's way too early to say if Price is going down this path, but it'll be interesting to watch him in the Premier League.

No surprise, but Twitter is abound with tweets articulating that it is a shame to see Price go out.

Highest ranked player remaining in the bottom quarter is Mervyn King!

Fancy a Kyle Anderson v Toni Alcinas quarter final.

Mervyn King for the Premier League! He'll bring his A game.

Surprising bit of confrontation from Dimitri in his post match interview, questioning Rod Studd’s stats.

Ha, yes maybe someone can confirm if Dimitri has averaged higher at the Worlds? Was a terrific performance, bless him wishing everyone a Merry Christmas to everyone. Love him to bits.

Darts Database says no.
He averaged 104.17 against Bunting last year.

13 seeds fall at the first hurdle - can't help thinking that they're at a sporting disadvantage with their opponents all have played 1 game on that stage. The Last 64 is always nervy.

Last 32
Michael van Gerwen (1) v Max Hopp (32)
Adrian Lewis (16) v Darius Labanauskas
Ryan Joyce v Alan Norris (25)
James Wade (9) v Keegan Brown
Daryl Gurney (5) v Jamie Lewis (28)
Dave Chisnall (12) v Kim Huybrechts (21)
Gary Anderson (4) v Jermaine Wattimena (29)
Vincent van der Voort v Chris Dobey
---------------------------------------------------
Rob Cross (2) v Cristo Reyes (31)
Dimitri van den Bergh v Luke Humphries
Ryan Searle v William O'Connor
Michael Smith (10) v John Henderson (23)
Nathan Aspinall v Kyle Anderson (27)
Devon Petersen v Steve West (22)
Antonio Alcinas v Benito van de Pas (30)
Brendan Dolan v Mervyn King (19)

Going to predict that the Last 16 draw will be as follows:
Michael van Gerwen v Adrian Lewis
Alan Norris v James Wade
Daryl Gurney v Dave Chisnall
Gary Anderson v Chris Dobey
--------------------------------------
Rob Cross v Dimitri van den Bergh
William O'Connor v Michael Smith
Kyle Anderson v Steve West
Antonio Alcinas v Mervyn King

Any updated OOM with the money added so far from this world champs?

Maybe with all these seeds tumbling, Barney may get his farewell premier league, but how close is he from being out of the top 32?

How Norris can play like he did in those 2 first sets, given what he is going through is amazing.

Can you elaborate on the "what he is going through" bit, please?
