Dave Chisnall
Adrian Lewis
Scottish star Gary Anderson wears his tartan on his sleeve
Old pro Taylor beat Jelle Klaasen (below) 7-5
Jelle Klaasen
An incredibly dangerous costume, this, given the number of hyped-up darts players wandering the building
Lewis went down 7-3 to Anderson
James Wade, evidently
Most fans were keen to enjoy the refreshments
Van Barneveld eventually overcame Wade 7-2, though the Englishman won the footwear battle
"Chizzy" faced the unenviable task of playing an especially hungry Van Gerwen
The Dutchman took a comfortable 7-1 win and sits top of the table at the halfway stage
Suffice to say, everyone had a bloody marvellous time
