After the painful defeat at the Grand Slam of Darts against Ryan Searle (Van Veen lost a 4-0 lead in legs on Saturday), there was only one thing for Gian van Veen to do on Sunday: beat the Northern Irishman Nathan Rafferty to continue holding on to the next round. The Dutchman did not succeed: 2-5. Berry van Peer fought hard on Sunday, but had to admit his superiority in Chris Dobey: 4-5. Both Dutchmen must fear elimination.
