Norfolk's Mervyn King was the runner-up in the 2009 Premier League

Bradwell's Mervyn King has become the highest seed to be knocked out of this year's World Darts Championship.

He was beaten 4-2 in his second round match by Dutchman Co Stompe, who reached the quarter-finals last year.

King lost the first six legs, finding himself two sets down before he edged the third set, but he could not complete a comeback.

King reached the WDC semi-finals last year and was runner-up in the 2009 Premier League.
