The fourth match of the evening was between Kim Huybrechts and Robert Thornton, Huybrechts who has had a pretty good 18 months compared to Thornton who has had a really poor 18 months since winning the tournament back in 2015.
It was the Hurricane who started brilliantly coasting to a set lead winning 3-0 to move halfway towards the finishing line which underlined Thornton's poor form.
The Thorn returned from the break and got his first leg on the board and some good darts from the former champion allowed him a 2-0 lead.
A poor leg from Thornton allowed Huybrechts to break the throw of the Scot. Thornton though won 3-1 to force a deciding set.
Thornton continued on and took the lead for the first time breaking the Huybrechts throw in the deciding set and then took out a spectacular 157 out to make it 2-0 and move on the verge of a shock win for the Scot.
After a poor leg of darts from Thornton, Huybrechts took out 72 to take it to a deciding leg. The Thorn came through the thriller with the Hurricane by hitting tops to win 2-1.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
