Evans did finally get off the mark in the sixth leg after Humphries missed three darts at double 14. When Humphries missed more darts in the following leg, Evans had multiple chances to get a break back. He couldn't do so though, with the world champion eventually moving 6-1 clear on double 5. Despite Evans showing signs of improvement, Humphries took the session 3-2 to move 8-2 ahead, just three legs from victory.
From there, Humphries wasted little time faffing around. The world number one raced through the next three legs without reply for a 11-2 win, to set up a final showdown against Dimitri van den Bergh.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
