PORTELA RETURNS TO THE PALACE Congratulations to @brazilliant180 who booked his return to the @OfficialPDC World Darts Championship with a 6-3 win over Jesus Ruben Salate in the tiebreak playoff here in San Jose!
Portela won the Central & South America Qualifier in Costa Rica on Sunday evening, although the Brazilian needed a play-off against Jesus Ruben Salate in a qualifier he usually has no trouble sealing.
While on Monday, Robb won through the DPNZ Qualifier to return to Ally Pally once again defeating former World Cup quarter-finalist and recent World Series star, Haupai Puha 8-4 in Monday's final with a 96 average.
He swept aside Stu Irwin and John Hurring 5-0 in the group before seeing off Landon Gardiner 5-1.
Following that, he lost just four legs in the second round-robin before defeating Hurring 7-4 in the semi-finals prior to seeing off Puha.

- Spot on. Darts is living in a Littler-inspired bubble at the moment, and it will eventually burst. The PDC now has an important decision to make regarding the rankings. If they remain money-based, it will be seen as proof that the governing body only cares about a small group of elite players at the top and does not want them to be disturbed. There needs to be a return to a points system.StraightArrowNoBull18-09-2025
- Should never have gone to £1,000,000 from £500k, incrementally say over 5 years. Future problem could be if Paddy Power pull out as sponsor, would anyone else cough up that amount? What if a future Government changes the rules on who can sponsor? There is only one way to go with gambling money and thats backwards. Whatever system is used needs to be in place before the Next World Championships otherwise it will skew the rankings if implemented after.Mysstree18-09-2025

- Brilliant match to watch and to see MVG play a good match again. Wessel Nijman played so well. You could see how much it meant to Michael with his young family in the audience.ListerAnderson12-09-2025
- Sorry and sad to hear this news about Jamie. I first met him at Lakeside in 92, I wasn't a fan at first as I liked Kevin Kenny and the crowd were very pro Jamie but once he went to the PDC and he walked to the stage to that Loch Lomond song I became a fan and would sing with the crowd until I was hoarse. On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore you. A cool player when the PDC had characters. Thank you for the happy memories Jamie.richieburnettrocks04-09-2025

- Inviting the last 8 of majors to the World Series events would mix it up and with local qualifying tournaments could turn both the Series and Finals into ranking events. This year you could have had: Bahrain and Dutch (Worlds): Littler, MVG, Dobey, Bunting, Rydz, Price, Aspinall, Wright Nordic (Masters): Humphries, Clayton, Noppert, Van den Bergh, Heta, Littler, Aspinall, Bunting US and Poland (UK Open): Littler, Wade, Clayton, Rock, van Veen, Humphries, Michael Smith, Aspinall Aus and NZ (Matchplay): Littler, Wade, Clayton, Rock, Gilding, Price, van Veen, Bunting Surely that's better than the same 8 players and invited subs doing effective exhibitions half the year?Scoobedybop23-08-2025
Portela back for another underwhelming performance. It says a lot about the standard of darts in his region if he keeps coming back.
