James Wade is successfully into the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts after dispatching Chris Dobey joining Josh Rock who won earlier in the night.
Wade sealed a 10-8 win over 'Hollywood' which could've been a lot simpler as he went 9-5 up and Dobey added the pressure, but 'The Machine' fell over the line to reach a sixth Quarter-Final in the tournament. He hit a 94 average, four 180's and 43.5% on doubles in an accomplished win.
