Raymond van Barneveld battled back from 4-1 down to grab a draw with Andy Hamilton as the pair shared the points in a McCoy's Premier League Darts thriller in Liverpool.

Hamilton continued his battle for a play-off place in his first Premier League season by taking a 3-0 lead against the Dutchman, and he also led 4-1 before van Barneveld hit back to share the spoils.

It was one of three draws on the night as defending champion Gary Anderson lost his grip on the trophy as a 7-7 draw with Adrian Lewis in Liverpool ensured he could not make it into the 2012 play-offs.

Phil Taylor is a whopping seven points out in front after his tenth win out of 12, but behind him six players can still mathematically fill the three remaining play-off spots, with only reigning champion Anderson definitely ruled out after his draw with Lewis

Kevin Painter was kicking himself after letting a 4-1 and 7-4 lead over James Wade disappear as the world number three hit back to salvage a 7-7 draw and leave Painter three points behind him in the table.
