The semi-finals are set at Players Championship 23 with four players left in the reckoning for the ProTour in Barnsley with one standout Dutchman reaching back-to-back semi-finals.

That being former Lakeside champion, Christian Kist who saw off Ricardo Pietreczko and continues to stun with a 109 average as he sets his sights on Minehead and maybe Ally Pally if he continues this form. He will now face top seed Dave Chisnall.

Gary Anderson again produced a huge average with a third consecutive ton plus mark in the form of 106 to ease past Chris Dobey 6-1. While he faces Luke Humphries now in the top semi-final.

'Cool Hand Luke' defeated Jonny Clayton to reach this point. Two of the top seeds in Humphries and Chisnall and two players looking to return to their vintage best in Anderson and Kist. Who takes the title today?
