- Key moment
Kuivenhoven wins it from 4-1 down — but he cannot go through
Maik Kuivenhoven came from 4-1 down to beat Karel Sedlacek 5-4 in Group P, finishing the decider in 11 darts on double 18, per Sky Sports.
Sedlacek had a match dart at 4-1 and later bust on 36 with the darts in his hand at 4-3. Kuivenhoven took the last four legs, including a 12-dart hold.
The win still leaves the Dutchman out. He has two points from two matches and a 6-9 leg record after Saturday's 1-5 defeat to Nathan Aspinall, a difference of minus three. Even if Tuesday finishes as a three-way tie on two points, he cannot catch on legs.
Sedlacek, on nought, plays Aspinall on Tuesday. He needs a 5-0, 5-1 or 5-2 win to go through on leg difference; a 5-3 or 5-4 would leave Aspinall ahead, and an Aspinall win would put the seed through on four points.
