"Sleeping?": Van Gerwen, Price and Clayton taunt Smith after his disappointing final night of Premier League Darts

Thursday night the play-offs of Premier League Darts were played at the O2 Arena in London. The four best players of the league phase competed for the title there.

In the first semi-final, Gerwyn Price was far too strong for Jonny Clayton (10-2), while Michael van Gerwen became the second finalist after a 10-8 victory over Michael Smith. The Dutchman then took the title by beating Price 11-5 in the final.

After the awards ceremony and other commitments, the players returned to the players' hotel, where drinks were had in the bar. However, not all semi-finalists appeared to be up for that, as Smith did not show up.

Van Gerwen, Price and Clayton then could not resist teasing the world champion some more via social media. The three darters present took a selfie and wondered if 'Bullyboy' was already in bed.
