Van Gerwen was responsible for eliminating world champion Michael Smith. After an average of 110 in his match against Luke Humphries, he now reached hit one of 104. Thanks to that average, Van Gerwen triumphed 7-3 against Smith.
Even more remarkable given his dental surgery and the effects mentally, it seems to have had that he has been able to almost resume his dominance on the World Series.
So in the final, the Dutchman will face Van den Bergh. The Belgian was superb in a cracking tie against Gerwyn Price. Thanks to a 14-darter in the deciding leg, "The Dreammaker" won the match 7-6.
The World Series tournament will be broadcast by PDCTV and ITV4 delayed from 9pm. On Friday, the first round will be played from 18:00 to 23:00.
The rest of the tournament will take place on Saturday from 18:00 to 23:00. Then the quarterfinals are scheduled first, followed by the semi-finals and final.
The prize pool for this event contains a total of £60,000. However, the prize money won does not count toward the PDC Order of Merit or other money rankings.
All participants are guaranteed £1,250 in prize money. This amount could eventually rise to a sum of £20,000 in prize money for the winner.
