ring. The evening session commenced with Lewis achieving 8–7 victory over Hamilton. Lewis established a 6–3 advantage on checkouts of 120 and 84 as well as finishes of 13 and 15 darts to which Hamilton came back to reduce the deficit to a single leg. Lewis took leg 12 and Hamilton the 13th after the former missed the double 16 ring. Hamilton's finish on the double 8 ring moved the match to a final leg decider, which Lewis won on a 56 checkout. King made finishes on the double 4, 8 and 18 rings and a ninth-leg match-winning checkout of 61 to defeat Klassen 8–1; the one leg Klassen took came on a 96 checkout in leg six. King expressed sympathy for Klassen and called it "an awkward match." Taylor and Jenkins were never separated by more than a single leg in their game, which Taylor won 8–7 on a 14-dart finish. Taylor made a 160 checkout in the ninth leg. In the last second-round game, Osborne achieved a 160 checkout in his 6–2 defeat of Van Gerwen, saying afterwards: "Michael wasn't at his best but I can only worry about my own darts and that's what I did." Quarter-finals The four best-of-19 leg quarter-finals took place on the afternoon of 31 January. Lewis and Nicholson played the first quarter-final. Nicholson led 3–1 from finishes on the double 20 and 2 rings as well a checkout of 101 in leg two. Both players shared the following nine legs to tie at 7–7 score before Nicholson achieved a 13-dart finish and a double 8 ring finish to win the match 9–7 and qualified for his first televised semi-final. The second quarter-final was between Osborne and Newton. Osborne, the 2009 Championship League Darts champion, opened up a 6–3 lead from errors made by Newton in the first nine legs. He was unable to complete a nine-dart finish when his seventh throw at the triple 20 ring was unsuccessful, allowing Osborne to claim two more legs on a 70 checkout and a finish on the double 20 ring to put himself a leg away from entry to the semi-finals. Checkouts of 96 and 124 from Newton forced the game to end with a 17th leg, which Osborne clinched on a finish on the double 8 ring for a 9–8 victory following errors by Newton. The third quarter-final was between Lloyd and Taylor. Lloyd
