HARTLEPOOL darts star Tony Eccles won three matches at the ITV Wildcard Qualifier for the PartyPoker.com Grand Slam of Darts before going out.
The Viper beat Sean White 4-1, Richie Burnett 4-2 and John Quantock 4-1 before losing in round three to AJ Urmston Toft 4-2 at the Magnum Centre in Irvine.
Wes Newton claimed a place in the PartyPoker.com Grand Slam of Darts with a victory over Colin McGarry in the final of the ITV Wildcard Qualifier.
The Blackpool-based accountant earned himself a minimum £4,000 prize money by qualifying for next month's tournament at the Wolverhampton Civic.
Newton dropped out of the PDC's top 32 last week, being overtaken by Eccles, but responded in style to ensure his place in front of the ITV Sport cameras.
He defeated Northern Ireland's McGarry 5-3 in the deciding game, coming from 3-2 down to take three successive legs and win his place in the Grand Slam with a two-dart 81 finish.
