Gerwyn Price sealed the latest night of Premier League Darts action in Sheffield and for 'The Iceman', he now has the clear goal in mind of reaching the play-offs.
Price was pleased to cope with the pressure and deliver as he saw off Michael van Gerwen in a dramatic game denying the in-form Mighty Mike his first night win in a while.
"I don't think I was at my best today but I'm happy to win," Price reflected. "The last couple of weeks I've been under the cosh and not playing well.
"I was under a lot of pressure tonight; I knew I needed to win two of the last three nights to make the Play-Offs.
"I know I'm in with a shout and if I win next week I'm back in the Play-Off places - as long as I get there I will be happy."
"I enjoyed the final but in the first two games I was under pressure," Price added. "Once I beat Gary and Joe, things probably came a little bit easier for me.
"I knew I needed to win the first game against Gary, and against Joe I knew he would be cold having had a bye in the first round, and I just needed to get into him a little bit.
"To produce 100+ averages in my first two games when the pressure was on and find some of my best darts was good, but there's a lot more in the tank.
"I got the five points, £10,000 and the main thing is I'm still in with a chance of winning this tournament."
