Price led set two on double 14. He missed 96 for 2-1 but Smith couldn’t hit 110 and ‘The Iceman’ went one away from a two set lead. Smith hit double two and made it 2-2.

Smith missed 81 for the set. Price though missed 97 and Smith hit double eight for the set. An 86 checkout saw Smith lead. His procession continued as he went 2-1 up in sets.

Price missed 160 for 2-0 but returned to head towards a sweep which he claimed for 2-2. Both missed darts to begin set five but it was Smith who held. Price hit 96 to make it 1-1.

Price nicked the next leg to break and go one away from a 3-2 lead which he sealed on double 12. He went 2-0 up but missed multiple match darts only to return for double two finally.
