Luke Humphries suffered a shock 6-3 defeat to Dirk van Duijvenbode in the second round of the Hungarian Darts Trophy as the tournament favourite crashed out of Budapest on Saturday night. With Luke Littler skipping the event, the world No 2 had arrived as the man to beat and in prime form after winning Wednesday's Players Championship event in Leicester, but his first European Tour outing since lifting the Belgian Darts Open title in March ended a day short of finals day. Van Duijvenbode, a World Matchplay semi-finalist this summer, produced the flourish of the match with a 140 finish on tops-tops to move within a leg of victory before sealing his place in Sunday's Finals Day.

Victory ended Van Duijvenbode's nine-match losing run against the world No 2, the Dutchman reeling off four consecutive legs from 3-2 adrift and averaging 98. "Luke is a phenomenal player, but I think I'm okay as well," said Van Duijvenbode. Elsewhere, Michael van Gerwen recovered from 3-1 down to beat James Hurrell 6-4 and keep alive his bid for a second Hungarian Darts Trophy crown. He'll meet Nathan Aspinall in the last 16 after 'The Asp' defeated Ryan Joyce 6-4.

Gian van Veen was imperious in whitewashing Hungarian qualifier Nandor Major 6-0, missing just three darts at a double in a finishing masterclass and converting a sublime 167 finish. Josh Rock also managed a 6-0 triumph over Joe Cullen. Fourth seed Jonny Clayton defeated home hope Laszlo Kadar 6-3.

Keane Barry reached a first European Tour finals day in three years after beating Madars Razma 6-2. Rob Cross needed a second successive last-leg escape, surviving two 136 finishes and missed match darts from Luke Woodhouse before sealing a 6-5 win with a 130 checkout on the bull.
