Michael Smith is the next player to secure his passage through to the play-offs. He only had to secure 3 legs and did so before Gurney fought back in a high quality encounter that puts a massive dent in 'Superchin's playoff hopes.

'Bully Boy' went 3-1 up securing those 3 legs but Gurney hit a 147 checkout to make it 3-2 before later on grabbing a break with a 167 checkout before he went on to secure at least a point. At 6-5 to Gurney it was Smith's time to fight back and he did so.
He hit a 81 checkout on the bullseye in style to draw 6-6 and claim a point. Gurney's only hope now is if Raymond van Barneveld can beat Gary Anderson and even then his chances remain slim.

- I understand that the darts diary is packed, but people do actually pay to watch. I suppose that the prize money,or title,is enough anymore. I actually feel sorry for the players who get called up as replacements,call me stupid,but if you're not considered good enough initially,then why compete?rick6720-06-2026

- This dozy wooden air head taking a selfie with the trophy sums her up, she has no knowledge of darts and certainly no memory of any previous final, so any comment is completely irrelevant.
