Mervyn King is through to his first World Darts Championship Quarter-Final since 2009 after ending the run of Aussie qualifier, Raymond Smith in a 4-3 win.
King recovered from 3-1 down to see off Smith in a 4-3 victory who had a Tour Card on the line if he came through in what was a dream run for the Aussie ace.
King was out of sorts early on and was averaging just 84 as Smith took an early 3-1 lead and was one away from claiming another upset win.
But King swept the fifth set 3-0 to stay alive with a decider in his sights. He did with a 3-1 sets win in the form of a 64 checkout.
He began the final set with a 124 checkout which sealed the fate of Smith as King swept the final set from there to move through to the Quarter-Finals.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but itβs bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if itβs ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
