It was a pulsating battle with MVG which featured 14 180's and saw Price average 108 to Van Gerwen's 104.7 with the latter missing a nine-dart finish on double 12 in a match that nearly had it all.
MVG led proceedings early on by taking out 88 on the bull for 2-0 but Price got off the mark and broke with an 86 checkout to make it 2-2. But Van Gerwen edged back in front with missed doubles allowing a 120 checkout from the Green Machine for 3-2.
But Price turned it around and still averaging 110, he hit double 20 to go within one leg of the final at 5-4. Despite that missed nine-darter, Van Gerwen missed a dart for the win and Price on second attempt took out double 12.
While for Smith, he defied Peter Wright reaching back-to-back finals with a superb 6-5 win over 'Snakebite'.
Going 4-3 and 5-4 up, Wright looked in pole position. But sat on 36 for the match, Smith produced a blockbuster 160 checkout to send it all the way and after a missed dart from 88, Smith pinned double 18 for the win.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals.
