Tom Bissell’s Swiss Darts Trophy run ended in the last 16 after a 6–4 defeat by Gian van Veen in Basel on Sunday.

Bissell began his weekend with a deciding-leg victory over Cullen on Friday.

He followed that with a 6–4 win against Schindler on Saturday, securing a third-round meeting with another established European Tour contender.

Van Veen arrived at that contest after beating Niko Springer 6–0 in his opening match. Bissell took four legs off the Dutchman but could not extend his stay in the tournament.

His last-16 finish earns £5,000 from the event’s prize fund, according to LiveDarts’ results and tournament guide.
