Watch BBC Sport's highlights as defending champion Webster progresses
Mark Webster began the defence of his BDO World Championship title with a comfortable 3-0 first-round win over Dutchman Willy van der Wiel.
The Welshman now faces ex-champion John Walton, who beat Shaun Greatbatch 3-0.
Ted Hankey, Scott Waites wrapped up 3-0 wins in all-English clashes against Brian Woods and Ross Smith, while Gary Robson overcame Stephen Bunting 3-1.
Sweden's Alan Norris became the second unseeded player to reach round two, beating number 13 seed Steve West 3-0.
West won just one leg as he was overpowered by Lakeside debutant Norris, who originally hails from Yeovil.
"I was sweating like buckets - it was like being back in Sweden in the saunas," he told BBC Sport.
Apart from West, the only previous seed to be beaten in the tournament so far is Australia's Eddie Sims, who had bowed out to Wales' Robert Hughes on Saturday.
Greatbatch, who is battling bone marrow cancer, received a huge ovation from the Lakeside crowd, while all the other players formed a guard of honour for him as he left the stage.
"That is the hardest game I have played and I don't ever want to go through it again," admitted Walton.
"We are all one big family in darts and this was going to affect everyone in the Lakeside arena and I am not afraid to admit I was filling up on stage."
Fourth seed Waites easily disposed of his opponent Ross Smith
Meanwhile, Smith, who has teamed up with Waites in pairs tournaments, visibly struggled to check out on the rare opportunities he was given as fourth seed Waites made short work of their encounter.
"My scoring and my finishing's been spot-on recently," Waites, from Halifax, told BBC Sport.
"I've won a lot of competitions in the last few months, so for this week, who knows?"
Hankey, seeded seventh, also showed shades of the form which brought him the Lakeside title eight years ago as he won the first game of the evening session.
"Brian didn't really turn up, but I hit my doubles when I needed to," he told BBC Sport.
"I've learned a lot in the last 12 months. I've not been drinking as much, and I haven't been aggressive on stage. I don't need to drink, I don't need to be an idiot, I just have to play darts."
The last men's game of the day - another all-England encounter between Gary Robson and Stephen "The Bullet" Bunting - was the closest-fought of the six games.
However, a spirited fightback by Bunting could not stop sixth seed Robson from triumphing.
"I took the first two sets pretty comfortably, but Stephen just wouldn't give up," Robson told BBC Sport.
"I've changed my darts recently, and I think I'm concentrating on them more, rather than throwing my last dart away.
"I've just got to get rid of a few little mistakes."
In the women's competition, number two seed Francis Hoenelaar beat Dutch compatriot Carla Molema 2-0.
Hoenelaar will play countrywoman Rilana Erades, who defeated third seed Julie Gores of Wales 2-1.
Extensive coverage of the Lakeside World Darts Championships will feature on BBC TV and the BBC Sport website.
