With Judgement Night over, what we already knew has been confirmed.
Raymond van Barneveld's Premier League Darts career is over. A 7-1 defeat to Michael van Gerwen threatens to be the last ever game in a trophy-laden era - but that remains to be seen. What we do know is that the Dutchman is eliminated, having picked up four points from nine games.
Michael Smith now has the unenviable bottom spot, having lost to James Wade in Rotterdam. Peter Wright is a point ahead in seventh, one point and place behind the man who beat him on Thursday night, Gerwyn Price.
Daryl Gurney leapfrogs Mensur Suljovic thanks to a 7-3 win over the Gentle. Wade is level on points with the Northern Irishman, but moves to third due to a superior leg difference.
It's leg difference that separates the top two. Michael van Gerwen will once again be top going into the second phase, thanks to that crushing win over Barney. Rob Cross beat Jeffrey de Zwaan, and joins Mighty Mike on 13 points.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
