Rising star Jansen continued his emergence with victory over Dutch icon Van der Voort in their first round tie at the IJsselhallen.<\/p>\n
Jansen fought back from 4-2 and 5-4 down, surviving three match darts in the penultimate leg, to set up a second round meeting with Michael Smith.<\/p>\n
Dutch duo Jermaine Wattimena and Danny Noppert join Rene Eidams and Arjan Konterman in Saturday’s round two thanks to wins over Rene Eidams and Arjan Konterman.<\/p>\n

One of the ties of round two will see Michael van Gerwen face Jelle Klaasen after two-time ProTour event winner Klaasen thrashed Sebastian Bialecki 6-1.<\/p>\n
However, Dutch trio Martijn Kleermaker, Niels Zonneveld and Wesley Plaisier crashed out at the hands of Callan Rydz, Mickey Mansell and Andrew Gilding respectively.<\/p>\n
Mervyn King will take on world number two Gerwyn Price thanks to a 6-4 defeat of Stefan Bellmont, while Simon Whitlock saw off Jamie Hughes 6-3 to set up a tie with Joe Cullen.<\/p>\n
