Van Gerwen wins Players Championship 5 after beating Dobey

Michael van Gerwen has won Players Championship 5 after defeating Chris Dobey in an oustanding final. 'Hollywood' hit a 110 average, but a great finish from 'Mighty Mike' in the seventh leg was the key moment in this game.

The Dutchman took a 4-0 from the start, before Dobey bounced back on the aid of a 10-dart leg. The 27-year-old from Bedlington was waiting on tops to throw for 4-3, but a stunning 160 check-out from Van Gerwen changed the momentum again. The two-time world champion hit double 8 in the eighth leg to seal the victory.
