Kim Huybrechts stuns Gerwyn Price as Belgian brilliance continues at Players Championship Finals

Kim Huybrechts pulled off a huge shock at the Players Championship Finals on Saturday afternoon by eliminating top seed Gerwyn Price in the second round.
The Belgian took full advantage of a poor match by Price, who had a finishing percentage of only seven percent at 1/13. Against that, Huybrechts put up a very effective finishing percentage of sixty percent.
Price missed four chances in the first leg to take the lead and Huybrechts hit his first double. With a 15-darter and a 76 finish, "The Hurricane" then ran out to 3-0 after Price missed one more dart on double 20 in the third leg.
Price then got on the scoreboard in the fourth leg, but then followed up with another five misses in the fifth leg. A 20-darter then brought Huybrechts to 4-1, before it became 5-1 with a 15-darter. Huybrechts then finished coolly with an 88 checkout.
With Huybrechts' win, a perfect day for the Belgians in the second round of the Players Championship Finals. Dimitri van den Bergh eliminated Gary Anderson 6-5, while Mario Vandenbogaerde won 6-2 against Matt Campbell. So Saturday night three Belgians will be in action at the last sixteen at this tournament.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
