PDC Anderson Withdraws from Euro's

GARY ANDERSON has withdrawn from the partypoker.net European Championship through illness, and will be replaced by Mark Webster.

Under Rule 3.8 of the PDC Order of Merit Rules, the next non-qualified player from the PDC Order of Merit comes into the event as a direct replacement, meaning that Webster now takes Anderson's place in the draw.

Welsh ace Webster will meet fellow left-hander James Wade, the number four seed, in Thursday night's final first round fixture.

World number ten Justin Pipe has confirmed that he will compete in the £200,000 tournament, despite the sudden death of his brother last weekend.
