A stunning deciding leg in the third set from Van den Bergh saw him hit eight perfect darts on his way to taking a 2-1 lead.
He then wrapped up victory in the fourth set to book a quarter-final against Joe Cullen, who defeated Daryl Gurney 3-2 earlier in the evening.
Two former world champions were also beaten with 3-0 defeats for Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson.
Price was beaten by James Wade, while Anderson lost to Mike De Decker in the night’s opening match.
