Stephen Burton, Adam Hunt and Aden Kirk have qualified for the PDC World Darts Championship by winning through the last-chance PDC Tour Card Holders' Qualifier in Milton Keynes.
All three players will make their Alexandra Palace debuts at darts' biggest-ever event from December 13-January 1 as 96 players battle for £2.5 million in prize money and the Sid Waddell Trophy live on Sky Sports.
Burton, who enjoyed a run to the last 16 of the Players Championship Finals in his TV debut last weekend, continued his fine form with victories over Arron Monk, Darren Johnson and Kevin Painter, then survived match darts before defeating Scott Taylor 7-6 in the Group Three Final.
Kirk famously claimed the scalps of Phil Taylor and Peter Wright at the 2014 UK Open, and he also came through a 13-leg thriller in the Group Two Final against Latvia's Madars Razma.
Group One saw Hunt (above) record wins over Terry Temple, Maik Langendorf and Bradley Brooks before seeing off Richie Burnett 7-4 in the final.
The draw for the 2018/2019 William Hill World Darts Championship will be made on Sky Sports News at 5.30pm on Monday November 26.
The first round draw will see the 32 ProTour Order of Merit Qualifiers drawn against the 32 International Qualifiers, with the winners set to take on the top 32 seeded players from the PDC Order of Merit in the second round stage.
