The second event of this season's PDC's European Tour season took place six months after the first as 48 players competed for a total prize fund of £140,000 in Germany.
Michael van Gerwen was favourite despite his recent inconsistency and after he crashed out at the hands of Mervyn King, it was Devon Petersen who went onto become the first ever African winner of a PDC ranking event.
