The Dutchman whitewashed Price in round two but could not get past the Polish Eagle.

Ratajski registered ton-plus finishes of 152, 117, 127 plus 16, but Plaisier still had match darts.

The 48-year-old took out 16 to move into round four.

He will face Luke Woodhouse, who overcame Andrew Gilding 4-1. Gilding came into the contest having beaten No.8 seed Chris Dobey but he could not keep up with “Woody”.
