The final is confirmed at Players Championship 12 with James Wade once again involved, this time against Jeffrey de Zwaan who makes his return to a final for the first time in a while.

Wade made it 15 wins in his last 16 meetings as he saw off Michael Smith who he defeated in the final yesterday and he did so in typical 'Machine' fashion hitting a 112 checkout to claim the win with 'Bully Boy' sitting on the exact same finish to potentially get a foothold back in the game.
He will face a tough task though as he faces off against 'The Black Cobra' who was terrific against John Henderson continuing the theme of the day hitting a 106 average.
De Zwaan caught fire this time last year on the Pro Tour in the run up to the World Matchplay where he reached the semi-finals, can he do it again?
