PDC World Championship of Darts 2012

[Choppa]

Winners this morning:
van Gerwen
Whitlock
Lloyd
Anderson
Lewis (in a whitewash)
Jenkins (who averaged 102 to smoke a disappointing Pipe)

Lewis and Jenkins are both through to the quarter finals.

Tonight's Round 3 matches (odds of course from Sportingbet):
Kevin 'The Artist' Painter $1.60 vs John 'Darth Maple' Part $2.28
James 'The Machine' Wade $1.10 vs Steve 'The Train' Farmer $6.00
'The Asset' Paul Nicholson $1.30 vs Kim 'The Hurricane' Huybrechts $3.35
Simon 'The Wizard' Whitlock $1.28 vs 'Mighty Mike' van Gerwen $3.50
Dave 'Chizzy' Chisnall $1.40 vs 'The Hammer' Andy Hamilton $2.85
'The Flying Scotsman' Gary Anderson $1.20 vs Colin 'Jaws' Lloyd $4.40

Dunno if there is a lot of value to be had outside of John Part (although Huybrechts and van Gerwen are capable enough of pulling off the upset); so how 'bout we get patriotic and go the Aussie double of Whitlock and Nicholson.

We're now at the Quarter Final stage of the World Championships, being played in a few hours time. Matches are:

Andy Hamilton $1.60 vs Kim Huybrechts $2.30
John Part $3.40 vs James Wade $1.30
Simon Whitlock $2.75 vs Gary Anderson $1.44
Adrian Lewis $1.42 vs Terry Jenkins $2.80

Note that Anderson has beaten Whitlock EIGHT times in 2011, Whitlock has not beaten Anderson during this period; hence the pricing discrepancy. Anderson has not been throwing well during this tournament, though he did show signs of a return to form during his win over Colin Lloyd. Huybrechts continues to represent value and is worth sticking with. Lewis should win, as should Wade, who has quietly and efficiently gone about business to date.
