Dirk van Duijvenbode defeated top seed Luke Humphries to reach Finals Day at the Hungarian Darts Trophy, while Gary Anderson dumped out Krzysztof Ratajski in Budapest.

Van Duijvenbode ended a run of nine losses on the bounce to Humphries with a 6-3 victory at the MVM Dome.

The Dutchman trailed 3-2 before winning four straight legs, averaging 98 and hitting a 140 checkout.

"Luke is a phenomenal player, but I think I’m okay as well," said Van Duijvenbode after the match.

"I’m happier in life at the moment. I’ve had a lot of struggles, but I feel better. Life is better, and I’m getting better now, hopefully."

Van Duijvenbode will face Rob Cross in the last 16 after the Englishman beat compatriot Luke Woodhouse in a deciding leg.

Scotland's Anderson ended Ratajski’s bid for back-to-back European Tour titles, averaging 105.27 in a 6-2 victory.

Anderson will meet Stephen Bunting after the Liverpudlian beat Finland's Jonas Masalin 6-1.

Elsewhere, Dutch duo Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen also progressed following Saturday’s second-round action.

Van Veen whitewashed Hungary's Nandor Major, converting 67% of his attempts at double and producing a superb 167 checkout.

Van Gerwen recovered from 3-1 down to beat James Hurrell and set up a meeting with Nathan Aspinall, who beat Ryan Joyce 6-4 after hitting five 180s.

Ross Smith also recorded a ton-plus average in a 6-2 win over William O’Connor and will face Jonny Clayton, who beat home hero Laszlo Kadar 6-3.

Dave Chisnall boosted his hopes of World Grand Prix qualification with a comfortable 6-2 victory over Wessel Nijman.

Reigning champion Niko Springer, however, saw his title defence collapse as Ryan Searle beat him 6-4 in a contest that lasted just 14 minutes.

Searle will face Danny Noppert, last year’s runner-up, on Finals Day after the Dutchman beat Ritchie Edhouse 6-4.

Chris Dobey recovered from 4-0 down to beat Tom Sykes in a deciding leg and will face Josh Rock, who finished the day with a 6-0 win over Joe Cullen.

Jermaine Wattimena beat Andrew Gilding and will face Van Veen, while Keane Barry reached the last 16 with a victory over Madars Razma to complete the lineup.
