Gerwyn Price claimed victory over Mensur Suljovic but it had to be hard-fought for The Iceman as the Premier League continues in Liverpool.
Price now moves into playoff contention after an 8-5 win over The Austrian.
Suljovic wasn’t playing at all to his best in the early going with The Gentle averaging 75 and going 3-0 down.
He finally found his groove though and in no time at all it was 3-3 and it was finely poised.
Missed doubles blighted Suljovic though in a match he could have took control of. He missed 12 which allowed it to become 4-4.
Price as a result reeled off three consecutive legs to go one away as he had one last surge.
Suljovic kept the contest alive at 7-5 but in the end it was the Welshman who got over the line but only just.
If he does make the O2, he may look back on this win as massively important in his playoff push.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
