Take Jenkins and the 3 favourites in a multi.

Other matches in Round 2:
Wade vs Baxter
Newton vs Huybrechts
Lewis vs Chisnall
van Barneveld vs Walsh
Probably the four favourites to go through here (Wade, Newton, Lewis and Barney) - Baxter is capable of beating Wade though.

Anderson so inconsistent, finding it hard to even put much thought into any of his matches - way easier to just leave them out...

Anderson so inconsistent, finding it hard to even put much thought into any of his matches - way easier to just leave them out...

He's had some big results this year - World Championship and Players Championship runner-up, Premier League winner...possibly a touch of complacency against those who he should be beating?

Quarter final match-up and current prices via Betfair:

Lewis $1.11 vs Huybrecths $8.60
Taylor $1.14 vs Nicholson $7.60
Wade $1.76 vs van Barneveld $2.24
Whitlock $1.26 vs Wright $4.50

Selections: Lewis, Taylor, Barney, Whitlock

Though it seems like madness, at the price of $7.60, I'm almost tempted to put some on Nicholson...

Well, some modicum of success after Whitlock, Taylor, Barney and Lewis won through to the semi-finals.

The semis and final were also played last night; and Phil Taylor picked up his 4th straight title after beating Lewis in the final.
