After breaking his Premier League Darts winless run, Chris Dobey has ended a winning streak with a 10 match unbeaten run ending for Michael van Gerwen in an emphatic whitewash win for 'Hollywood' to reach the final of Night Seven in Nottingham.

Dobey had not won a Premier League Darts match after defeating MVG in Belfast in Week One's final but after seeing off Michael Smith, he has gained another confidence boost in a 6-0 win with a 101.3 average.
He was averaging 112 early on against the Green Machine rolling into a 2-0 lead and it soon went from bad to worse for MVG after missing a dart at double 20, Dobey did what MVG often does and picked his pocket to break and go 3-0 up.
This happened again with a 147 checkout being missed and Dobey stepped in for 4-0 as well as 5-0 in which Dobey went one away. 'Hollywood' was way back and Van Gerwen was seemingly sparing his blushes only for Dobey to stop that in its tracks with a superb 103 checkout.
This eclipsed a superb display from Gerwyn Price who will face Dobey in the Night Seven Final who saw off Dimitri van den Bergh who averaged 101 but lost out 6-4.
This featured an epic 156 checkout to win it from 'The Iceman' who reaches his third weekly final of the campaign and will now face Dobey shortly.
