Bialecki captures Development Tour title in Milton Keynes

Sebastian Bialecki took the title Friday night at the 22nd tournament of the PDC Development Tour 2023. For "The Bolt," it is the fourth time in his career he has won a tournament on the PDC's youth circuit.

The Polish darter made it to the final after victories over Nathan Care (4-1), Joel Salerno (4-0), Keelan Kay (4-2), Owen Maiden (4-3), Llew Bevan (4-3), Adam Paxton (5-3) and Gian van Veen (5-4). Bialecki was then too strong for Keane Barry in the final, 5-3.

The PDC Development Tour is considered the breeding ground of the PDC. Talented players have the opportunity on this circuit to further develop their talent. Players may enter as soon as they reach the age of sixteen. They may then compete up to and including the season in which they turn 24.

15,000 pounds of prize money is paid out per tournament, so the prize fund for the entire circuit of a total of 24 tournaments consists of 360,000 pounds.

From reaching the last 64, players can earn prize money, starting with 75 pounds. That amount then increases each round. The winner collects a handsome £2,500.
