Welcome to Day 9 of the Evening Standard's PDC darts Home Tour LIVE coverage.
On Saturday night, PDC Tour newcomer Martijn Kleermaker sprung a shock as he progressed through to the next round.
The Dutchman overturned a 3-0 deficit to beat 2019 World Championship finalist Michael Smith in the opening clash in Group Nine, and ended up finishing top despite suffering defeat to Matt Clark.
'Superman' missed what would have been the winning dart in the final match of the night, allowing Kleermaker - who only received his PDC Tour card earlier this year - to squeeze through by the slimmest of margins.

Tournament rules
- All matches are best of nine legs (first to five).
- The player listed on the left of the fixture will throw first in odd-numbered legs.
- Two Points awarded for a win.
- Should players finish level on Points, the Leg Difference will be used to decide positions. Should Points and Leg Difference be equal between two players, then the winner of the game between the two players will determine who finishes higher. Should Points and Leg Difference be equal between three players, the Overall Average of each player (across the three games on the night) will be used to determine who finishes higher.
Scores and commentary
To add a layer of shine to proceedings, there will be live score graphics on screen along with commentary from Rob Dawson.
Prize money
There is no prize money on offer, just an appearance fee, and Barry Hearn is in talks about a similar model for snooker.
