LukeHumphries v Nick Kenny (19:30)
Humphries is the overwhelming favourite to win all his games in Group Five. He’s 2/5 to get off to the best possible start against world number 109 and 9/5 outsider Nicky Kenny in his opening match.
Cool Hand has shown himself to be one of the most talented youngsters in the game over the last 18 months, and with his experience and superior consistency, we make him a 3/1 chance to be crowned King of the Oche.
Luke Humphries v Devon Petersen (20:45)
This shouldbe the game of the night between two players who are familiar names on the PDCcircuit.
Humphries is chalked up as the favourite, as per all his matches this evening, although at 8/13 it’s his skinniest price of the entire session. Petersen, who won the last time they met in a legs format, is available at 6/5.
If Cool Hand’s quality shows through, it’s difficult to see him getting beat. And while there’s not much juice in his match odds, you can get 11/10 about him hitting the most 180s. He’s hit 58 more maximums than the South African in the last two years.
Devon Petersen v Nick Kenny (21:10)
