Raymond van Barneveld lost 6-1 to Ryan Searle from England in the first round.
The Super Series 2, a four-day tournament series, was thus over for the Dutchman.
The 53-year-old stayed with the other players in the hall for a while when he caused a shock.
The five-time world champion suddenly collapsed in the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes and needed emergency medical care.
The ongoing games were interrupted immediately and only resumed after more than an hour.
van Barneveld for observation in the hotel room
Contrary to what was initially feared, "Barney" did not have to be taken to a hospital, but instead was taken to his hotel room, where he was still observed, as the Professional Darts Corporation confirmed.
The cause of the collapse is still unclear.

Van Barneveld ended his successful career in December 2019, but returned to the professional tour that year and wrote a darts fairy tale.
On the very first weekend he won a tournament.
He then retired from the UK Open in the first round.
In Milton Keynes, too, it fell far short of expectations.
Now it will first be about getting well.
