Image source, Kelly Deckers/PDCNot much atmosphere from the crowd with this one, maybe they're having a breather before the semi-finals start.
Gian van Veen misses two at double 16 for a three-leg lead but makes no mistake at the third time of asking.
Pretty easy stuff for the young man.

Danny Noppert needs to find a foothold in this match or else it's going to quickly get away from him.
Gian van Veen hits double 12 to double his lead.
Gian van Veen 1-0 Danny Noppert
A slow start from both in front of their home crowd. Surely there'll be some nerves knocking about.
No sign of that from Gian van Veen as he takes the lead with a 122 finish on the bull.

Gian van Veen opens with a throw of 60 and Danny Noppert replies with 100.

Daunting.

It's another all Dutch affair in this clash.
Let's hope this match is similar to the one we've just seen!
Gian van Veen v Danny Noppert
Luke Littler, Gerwyn Price and now Michael van Gerwyn have booked their places in the semi-finals.
Will it be Gian van Veen or Danny Noppert who joins them?
Van Gerwen 6-5 Van Barneveld
So close to victory for Raymond van Barneveld but Michael van Gerwen snatches it from him!
Barney has another match dart but misses double top.
Left with 124, Mighty Mike finishes it with a bullseye to progress to the last four.
Four legs on the spin to fight back from the brink of elimination - fantastic!
Van Gerwen 5-5 Van Barneveld
Michael van Gerwen is flying now.
Raymond van Barneveld earns himself a match dart, though, as he goes for a 121 checkout.
His dart for the bull is the wrong side of the wire and that allows MVG to come in and level it up at 5-5.
One leg to decide it.

VoiceOfTheMysterons: "*Another* year where the World Champion stars are missing from MvG's shirt. They're not going to come back until he can put *four* on there, are they..."
Van Gerwen 3-5 Van Barneveld
Michael van Gerwen was never going to let this one go that easily.
A 65 checkout drags him back to within two. But he needs to win the next three as well to progress.

This would be a real statement win for Raymond van Barneveld.
Van Gerwen 2-5 Van Barneveld
This is finishing of the very highest order from Raymond van Barneveld.

What can Michael van Gerwen do from here?
Van Gerwen 2-4 Van Barneveld
Image source, Kelly Deckers/PDCRaymond van Barneveld is rolling back the years!
Another maximum to leave 131 and then nonchalantly takes it out to go a break up.
"Barney Army!" chant the crowd. The old-timer is on top.

Chris Mason

Michael van Gerwen is aware this is the one player he doesn't want to lose to on home soil.
Van Gerwen 2-3 Van Barneveld
There's the old Barney magic.
With Michael van Gerwen putting the pressure on, Raymond van Barneveld hits a 180 to leave double 18.
He gets it at the first attempt and is back in front.
