Chizzy, who was tipped up on these pages at 20/1 pre-tournament on these pages, was playing in his usual practice area of his darts cabin in Morecambe and made his home advantage count the most to become the first group favourite to advance following the shock exits of Peter Wright on opening night and Gerwyn Price on Saturday.
While the peak of the standard didn't reach the same heights as 24 hours earlier, when a razor sharp Luke Woodhouse achieved a nine-darter against Price from his kitchen, the world number 10 produced three dominant displays to progress to next month's second round with a perfect record.
Chizzy wins the opener!

A 103 average and five 180s from Dave Chisnall as he takes a 5-2 victory in the opening game of the night! pic.twitter.com/EjZHT76ODt
Chisnall's biggest problem was making sure his camera was pointing the right way at his board ahead of his final match against Jonathan Worsley - rather than of his impressive lego truck - and while he went on to win it 5-1 despite both players averaging in the mid-70s, there was light-hearted debate between the pair as to who possessed the best man cave.
The 39-year-old had earlier got off the night off to a flying start when averaging just shy of 103 during a high-quality 5-2 victory over Huddersfield's Scott Waites, who posted a mark of 95, before posting 99 in a thumping 5-0 triumph of Dutchman Jan Dekker.
Two-time BDO world champion Waites, who famously won the PDC's Grand Slam of Darts in 2010, kept himself in the hunt by thrashing Worsley and Dekker by 5-1 scorelines but he'd need Chizzy to suffer a heavy defeat in his final game to snatch top spot.
That never looked likely although Scotty 2 Hotty can at least take home the title of 'joke of the night' if that's even a thing.
