Price firstly saw off Simon Whitlock in a close affair but ‘The Iceman’ prevailed.
He hit a 96 average and five maximums en route to the win. For Price it is the continuation of his brilliant form as of late and something he will want to continue.
Smith played brilliantly in the St Helens derby against Dave Chisnall.
He hit a 101 average including smashing in a 141 checkout as well.
’Bully Boy’ had to survive a late rally back from ‘Chizzy’ but got over the line 10-5 in the end.
