Gary Anderson wins second Players Championship
With a 6:4 against Simon Whitlock Gary Anderson got his third victory in 2010.
In the first Players Championship in Las Vegas on Sunday Anderson already had reached the quarterfinals.
After a difficult first match against Mark Hylton Anderson had dominated all his matches and he had
eliminated Chris Loudon, Mark Webster, Steve Maish, Paul Lim and Colin Lloyd.
Simon Whitlock had a hard match against the Candian Ken MacNeil in the quarterfinals - from 1:5 behind he just managed
a close 6:5 win. His other "victims" were Sean Smyth, Donny Joe, Colin Monk, Denis Ovens and Chris Thompson.
Chris Thompson, semifinal opponent of Simon Whitlock, could win in the quarterfinals a fiercely fought over contest with
Phil Taylor. Now he has still a chance to qualify for the World Matchplay in the last Players Championship.
From the NorthAmerican players Canadian Ken MacNeil and the legend Paul Lim had the most successful day
- both reached the last eight. Darin Young again showed a good performance. In his first match he whitewashed
Adrian Lewis and then played himself under the last 16.
