Jelle Klaasen has already been eliminated in the first round of the EC's darts. The Dutchman beat Englishman Joe Cullen 2-6 on Thursday night in Dortmund.
Klaasen made the first break of the first leg in the third round, but Cullen immediately restored the balance. After that, "The Cobra" was no longer successful.
Later Thursday, three Dutch will play. Michael van Gerwen meets Australian Paul Nicholson, Danny Noppert plays against reigning world champion Rob Cross and Jermaine Wattimena clashes with Scottish Scientist Peter Wright.
Van Gerwen defends his title at the Westfalenhallen. The world number one has won the EC Darts for four years.
Raymond van Barneveld is not in Dortmund. Like Gary Anderson, The Hague team did not get enough points on the thirteen Euro tournaments to force a start permit for the European Championship.
The second round will be finished on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals will be on the program.
