SMITH SAILS INTO THE LAST EIGHT! Ross Smith fires in back-to-back 180s on his way to a 6-2 success against Ryan Joyce, as he seals a place in the quarter-finals! 📺 bit.ly/PDCTVLive #PC17
The players have reached the quarterfinal stages of Players Championship 17. The eight remaining in Milton Keynes will battle it out for Pro Tour glory.
Joe Cullen hasn't had much Pro Tour joy of late, but the Englishman dispatched Chris Landman to keep his run today going. The first four legs of the match went with the darts. Then 'The Rockstar' stepped up a gear by hitting a 12-darter and a 13-darter to take a 4-2 lead. A 16-darter then brought Cullen to 5-2, before he closed with a 17-darter. In the quarterfinals, Cullen will face James Hurrell, who edged Jim Williams 6-5. On the same side of the bracket, Florian Hempel and Ryan Searle face each other in the last eight. They won over Dave Chisnall (6-4) and Stephen Bunting (6-3), respectively.
