Think he’s yet to tick off the list Coan go price plenty of success in the finals twice 140 we just got the break he’s in danger of being broken straight back and the standards just starting to incre increase 99 L 92 trouble 20 double 16 could go double double decides against

It now going price it’s a big check out but it’s a good one especially for this man what a guide double [Applause] CHP 140 32 B in gone double 16 we’re back level leg Luke the throw first game price had the chance this is a guide almost of bouncing off the top

Side of it5 104 then for a breaker throw hits the trible 18 again he’ll stay there for double 16 just the wrong side of the wire price step in and save the leg it’s one do at tops again and this time he gets it right Luke to throw first game Y and

Price surviving a dart to go four tournaments over the last couple of years but in Euro tour events similar setup to this where he can just turn up for these sessions play at a brilliant level and keep at it because it just looks like it’s not really taking a great deal out of

It oh looks for he’s a little animated when he got that last set of darts out of the board Luke hum cuz he hadn’t left himself on a finish that could be crucial here 94 for price then to nudge himself back in front he’s hit the treble 16 so he’ll

Stay there this for Tops for a break and he gets it going price backto back legs finished on top and he’s two away from ending Luke Humphrey’s mirac one here the max for going price 1405 for last start gets into a finish 97 good 141 took out 104 in the last leg

KH 63 seriously threaten the 141 139 then couldn’t just get the treble 14 91 78 is it going to be another one of these finishes well no he does get two dots at the Double not just one at tops he’s going to need that second

Art and in the end he needed more than that and Luke humph break straight back nowhere near wow that was unexpected going price was expecting that to go as well so Double 12 again this time gets it and he is one away from a place in the semifinal humre need to tr

And he gets one as he so often does with that last St but going price now another one of those relief double five that leaves the bullseye for the match and a match start comes and [Applause] goes the 146 will not go and go in price

To beat Luke Humphrey to be the first man to do so in two months to end the world champ and world number one’s hopes of picking up the title here in Vrain is it the 21 to the one double two he has cost himself a match Dart and it might cost him the

Match the price family can’t believe it neither can Luke humph needs double 10 to stay in the game and he’s missed he has missed it humph can’t capitalize on price missing the double it’s double one mad house for the victory two darts left and he’s busted

His score wow what a dramatic ending to this game double five and Humphrey’s lets price come back to the board again how many chances does he need to beat humph he’s been unbeatable for two months but it’s finally over the winning streak is done Co hand is beaten and the

World Champ ion will not be little boy watching on 0 right here with a great opportunity and that’s a lovely first start quite follow it in EAS one that is a problem isn’t it that first start was begging for more to go in the treble and he only ends up

With 81 yeah with you it’s a a short return that is after the first start he’ll be disappointed Peter these two players stick their like they D to stick up just Bel below that top wire using the bottom wire and use it to effect there a visit from right and he’s

Getting the opportunity to break straight back here is players will they or colors on there here is right then for a first leg nicely done 14 M got 150 he’s left a ton Smith 58 for a 4-1 lead not going to go on this occasion and you get the feeling here

That this opportunity for right has got to be taken 100 break again he’s going to go dble 19 for double and he gets it to really rescue the shot here Peter right over towards the double three a brilliant opportunity for Michael Smith it is single a for Tops just underneath so Peter Wright

Gets a reprieve and this for a full successive breaker throw straight at it looking like it oh there’s always the risk there’s the risk of blocking it and there’s the risk of having to waste a that both of them come to play more opportunities to go 4-1 in front for Michael Smith he’s

Missed one doesn’t miss again and he’s two away from the semifinals in Barra he would be right up against it 140 Vis it from Smith but right again needs a 100 oh last time we in the Five Section this time the one section and this time

He can’t get the triple 19 to recover it and that’s a problem for Peter right at the moment5 this could be as good as the match it’s a tall order anyway this 85 goes may just be the D of the ball and it is for 5-1 and it is 51 no reaction

From Michael Smith but he’ll be satisfied it’s first down to a finish there’s going to be plenty of pressure on that Max for Smith second of the match for him and he’s One D away from Victory unless Peter wght can provide a big finish here and he’s not going to so Michael

Smith a routine Victory here in his quest to defend his title in Bahrain double 14 to finish it off looks awkward it wasn’t awkward and Michael SMI shaking ahe but it’s another good performance from Michael around about the similar average again in the mid to high 90s pet this is just a different

Level he has to achieve yeah it is but I think he might be up to it [Applause] when I’ll make you right this could be really really good Nathan ASA look they’re the same management say I think Nathan did play loop back when he was 11 or 12 and even

Then Nathan said I was in a real tough game but this is unbelievable from Luke ller backto back 180s to start the match they’re supposed to be friends and he’s tearing into him this would be oh it’s on it’s on in the first leg of the March BR ller and his world

Series debut he got through the game yesterday he’s hit a perfect leg only the second time we’ve seen on on the World Series is there anything this young man can’t do Luke the nuke ller a nine data on the World Series only the second player to hit one after Phil

Taylor he keeps on doing the improbable he keeps producing the [Applause] spectacular Nathan you require 170 something of a calling card for Nathan aspal in Years Gone by but he’s not producing it here it’s another good recovery though yes when his Maiden major title with a 1170 finish Nathan require 15 and leaves

[Applause] tops would have been a fifth ton plus check out the tournament for had he found double top there aspal had a 74 combination earlier and drifted from the big number so he only got ball to come into play staying there for 18 and does not get it would have been a

Level game he rarely misses this luk ller so confident on double 10 he’s going to move can get awkward he’s chasing now we’ve seen aspal pin this double five in the match we’re not going to see L bitler hit it here Nathan require well this is what got him in a

Spot to bother against man loock long not just missing the odd D here and there but missing clusters of them at doubles and Nathan Asal has leveled this game up from two down you see that c from Nathan that little pause that hasn’t gri right or be stem

Just gets it right and that is why and listen to that rooll could be three consecutive legs for Nathan Arenal unless Luke ller can take the 164 and he’s not going to 95 Nathan you require 64 three on the spin and two against the darts and to lead this match for the

First time it’s in the 16 so stay in that segment to leave the double open bed 32 how crucial could that be reques 69 to lead 32 and it would have been another break for Nathan just the one for ller it’s just the one he needs he leads

Again still on throw just it’s being played in good spirit up there he’s have to go over the top of the dart there Focus Nathan this is a chance for L 16 one treble combo3 in reeling in ton plus finishes pretty regularly throughout this tournament so far but he’s not going to

Produce one year 67 Nathan require 36 aspal use a 25 early on in a match he’s gone aggressive double eight little pause mentioned earlier you see from Nathan it hasn’t worked to his Advantage there and a chance for L to open up a twole cushion again no problem back in

Charge two legs for ller then two for the ASP now two more for ller two n down to all 4-2 down he’s now got it back to 43 well he was in trouble of course yesterday against lawrencean and it was the burst at the end of the match a

Three- leg spell 14 D 14 D 12 D the one in the match Nathan Aspen he might have to do something similar [Applause] here these are the challenges that the aspish is doesn’t he and there’s no challenge at this La doesn’t Rish is it Again raised eyebrows you’ve already done it just like a few minutes ago 45 surely can’t do it again 4 oh my word it’s not far off finding the trouble 20 83 just focus he stayed on the target brings it down to singles a double combination Nathan over at the 16 or

20 there’s the set up 36 there was errors from n on the doubles yesterday Nathan will hope for some here there is no mistake brilliant 11 data from Luke ller moves to the brink of Victory he has the darts in this leg and the last

Leg decied if we go the distance 70 out here for Nathan as Luke Litt is very likely to set up well from 206 still on expect the layup here from Luke early decision to switch switches with a third as well and to get a shot for the match Luke ller

Decides to step across and once again he saved so many visits Nathan aspal but that may not be enough to save the match cuz Luke ller gets a match start at Double top and takes his chance it is another astonishing display from the teenager a nine data and another win

On the World Series Luke ller marches into the semifinals and he’s given himself a chance of marching to the title in his very first World Series Event yeah how many times have we seen him do this set up this shot can he take it out for an early break no is the answer quite emphatically now he’s just got to be careful here that doesn’t leave the door open the best visit and

Vanwin step in is he staying there he is for double 15 oh mighty Michael vano draws First Blood second leg to throw first game what a start 150 check out van gin bed and a break opportunity incoming here for Mighty Mike might be one right back at him and

It’s one he might well have needed brilliant stuff from Rob [Applause] cross and he will get a look at the 86 to level the match but it’s under severe pressure certainly is6 86 18 the target stay there gets the treble now he’s looking down the board

At double seven and that was right in the middle what an end to that leg from Ro cross who looked under pressure the max sets up the finish and he takes it well two legs for Rob cross and both of them combination finishes when vanwin

Has been on either a double or a single to double combination there is a 13-point gap in the averages also leaves the big F this time 94 again no pressure to take it out mvg had a go at it just cross feel compelled to do the

Same that’s not a bad setup is it there was nothing lucky about that one 134 of your requ 36 it’s been a night where the performances are getting better and better game and that 13 leg means we’ve now here and now 121 just feels like nether of them have

Done anything wrong in this game Rob cross is averaging 100 and hasn’t missed a dart at d six is it possible to lose the match on the practice board before wow can’t you can’t say he hasn’t given him a real test can you 19 school this is a tough school it

Really is but he’s going to well like you said Dan he needs one good leg if assuming he can hold here he needs one good leg against the throw probably require but it is an assumption that he can hold because van has kept pace with him here treble 18 leaves the Bull’s Eye

It’s the only double that’s been missed in this game but he doesn’t get a crack at it 63 Mar require 12 One Two Three Needs trouble 18 and gets treble 18 needs the bullseye and Van GN finishes it in style what a performance from Mighty Mike his second t plus out

Of the night averaging a smid in under six R cross has done very very little wrong but he simply could not overpower Mighty might likely has bought himself some time 57 60 167 can’t take out the big finish but could leave this very handy indeed looking down the board quite get the

Trouble 17 72 first Charley good guy yeah it is re holds a throw and lit the leads [Applause] again second maximum of the match for Luke ller he 12th of the tournament so far needed a lot as well just to leave a finish is this ller making his

Move he made it on this visit incredible 170 brilliant from Luke liter a 180 Follow by a 170 he’s had a nine da tonight as well and L finds the first breaker throw in this semifinal and a illustrating there that he’s reeled in the big fish important

Leg be two legs away from the final as we enter of a break at the middle of this match and price isn’t going to leave a finish here he’s got so much time to close out this seventh leg Luke ller 27 a loose one going can put another one in there he’s coming

For cover what a visit that is from go price and out of nowhere he’s in the leg unless ller takes out this 103 and he’s going to get a shot at tops and he gets it it’s another top plus check out from Luke ller and he has blitzed his way

Into a 52 lead in a race to seven the Iceman needs to come back can he do it two and it’s nothing for sure here is all about accumulating legs on the board and this has been a fine start after the break tops for a 13 data should be a good marker should

Be well he’ll be back yeah no harm done you You’ think looking to sort of bring this 189 down hope for some erors from get in price and his doubling hasn’t been on point this weekend price chasing up to double five he could have problems again here and it is in

It he be disappointed that is six for the leg he’s missed seven in the match now price this could be as good as the match as this ball goes in and it does go in a real steal for Luke ller but he’s now one leg away no reaction from either

Player but liter is now throwing for a place in the bar D’s Masters final it’s tailed off litle should complete the Victory and book his spot in the final from here 134 first chance to finish it then is it going to be another T plus check out he’s got the two trebles now

He needs the double couldn’t do it couldn’t do it 46 well it was a Miss using two trouble 18s that changed the world final and is it going to change this semifinal price enjoyed that one he knows had a bit of work to do still R smile from Luke ller

But one of the breaks is clawed back brilliant finish from gwin Price treble 19s there’s one of them can’t find the second and price needs a big again he’s just had a 146 to keep himself in the semifinal is he going to follow with a 142 he’s got the first one oh just

Couldn’t follow it in and that might be it for go price is Luke ller has already had one opportunity to wrap up a place in the final does not need another one tox he gets warm handshake from go with price who’s been overpowered by Luke the

N and he is through to his first ever World Series of DS Final he’s beaten going price by seven yeah I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me he’s not playing slowly but he just seems to be playing in a more measured Pace Michael Smith everything about the setup and

Addressing the O seems to be taking a great deal of care they’re not flying through this game at the very top [Applause] speed he’s always going to be quick requ one [Applause] G Le and it is a little of the head two2 start for the both

Here Michael Smith used 27 darts to his two legs Michael Van used 24 Downs to win his two legs well this 5 gives vano in room to maneuver six starts from here he might not need six starts he certainly will need a second visit now 15 double 17 with decision to make when

He comes back but he is coming back Smith he’s got to apply pressure hope for errors but vanu into break again he broke in the first leg can he breaking the final leg before the break he has done and there takes van go a key moment in this match Michael vanu in the

Breaker throw he crosses the halfway line he’s three legs away from setting up a final L Michael vanu and leads Michael Smith 74 left Michael Smith scrambling to get to any kind of a finish it’s good it’s very good in fact but it may not be good enough has been missing

Doubles opportunity again Michael Smith got a look at 1 in the previous leg he didn’t take it out but then he did get a go at the top he didn’t take that out the first ey didn’t do any favors this time it’s on point buy and he does level

Up but he just won’t go away Michael Smith he’s had setbacks but he keeps recovering and at no point in this semifinal as either player had a two-leg cushion we effectively now at a best of three for a clash with Luke ller in the final and Michael Smith has the

Advantage of the dots 74 left Michael Smith scrambling to get to any kind of a finish it’s good it’s very good in fact but it may not be good enough has been missing doubles opportunity again Michael Smith got a look at 130 in the previous leg he

Didn’t take it out but then he did get a go at the tops he didn’t take that out the first ey didn’t do any favors this time it’s on point Bullseye and he does level up but he just won’t go away Michael Smith he’s had setbacks but he

Keeps recovering and at no point in this semifinal as either player had a two-leg cushion we’re effectively now at a best of three for a clash with Luke liter in the final vanin just taken out 72 and he went this way double six and he’s missing

Again we just can’t get a hold of throw since the Break for it swing back in Michael Smith’s favor again double top and he doesn’t take the chance and Van Goen on an awkward double three but he should be up to it is he no he isn’t he was going to do well to get in there with the last out we saw

From the camera angle they pinned up and there wasn’t a lot of room Smith to send us all away van garan’s had five Downs for the match he’s not going to get any more is he he’s not in this leg and we go to a deciding leg where for what it’s worth

Michael Smith has got the DS Smith wow we’re not quite in Abdul nassa Yos of territory but that took a very fortunate deflection to find double top look at the c g knows Smith isn’t on a finish you rightly said that he’s been needing plenty of time of late in the last few

Legs Michael Vann oh he’s going to leave something very good it’s brilliant from Michael Smith now Michael vano and he’s only going to get one more match D maximum and he’s needed loads more than that does he stay there no he goes 18s for the double and pin it Michael Vann when it really

Really ated gets the double to win the match and Michael Smith will not retain the title here in bin we have a final it is mighty Michael Vann the most successful player in World Series history against 16-year-old Luke the n ller on his World Series is he about to go home with the spoils from Bahrain 25 134 well not the authoritative start that Mighty Mike would have Liked 56 not exactly the setup shot that ller wanted but it looks like he’s got a bit of time looks can be deceiving 43 78 for the opening leg there’s the treble now he needs Double 12 doesn’t get it will get a look at 148 already hit four

T plus outs in the tournament but he won’t be adding to that number just yet 56 12 double six dou three is found Luke ller takes the opening leg of the final Le bandwagon rolls on here in Bahrain nice visit Vann but even despite that not on a finish so the ready

S no need to go 20 and ball so went to the 10 just set the shot up and if you you’ve got enough time to do that sort of thing against Michael vanu and things are going all right 134 4 van go in tops then top delivers now can only hope to

Put some more pressure on now ironic he hits the two but look at that he takes out the 160 he would have needed if he got the single 20 on the leg on the throw before again this is not an easy finish going double double again and it does not work

Again luk ller was in trouble in this leg vanen has not punished him huge stes the double 10 down as he goes to collect the D and he’s got a just the four perfect dance to start this leg before we all got very excited about a potential second nine da of the

Night 54 I think the feed the feeling backstage when he hit the six perfect darts after the nine D we thought he was going to do it then as well well you almost expect it look at this for a leg possible Lea to whole Thro Michael Vann is Miles

Away9 l no two ways about it in this final Luke ller is the better player and he is a better player than Michael Vann right now get that much benefit but having covered the trouble 20 he wanted to find a new Target 86 could be an important last

Start for Michael vanen to leave a Shanghai finish yeah will he get a go at it he’s gone the 18 throughoute and couldn’t get the treble 96 so van will get a look this to hold throw as well needs a treble does not get it liter smells

Blood for a break and a twoleg Lead there is no roughl in this l [Applause] oh is this a surge is this a fight back from Michael vanoy a third Max he was pushed all the way by Smith he found the answers in the semifinal can he find them here is it tops tops

Again it is there’s one and there’s the other what an end to that leg and the break straight back that’s what Michael vaning can do and that’s a message to the youngster this final is far from over was in the green there has a little look I thought he

Might just go for the 180 to leave an awkward double but just try and get some noise in the room to distract mvg the need distracting can’t take out the 113 and Luke ller to break double four two dots missed by the nuke and go to level up he’s looking at

Tops he wasn’t sure if that was in or not double 10 the new Target and double 10 is missed badly inside so ller with a chance to break again double four 6-4 more misses from luk L and Michael vano and he’s being let off the hook Here we are level on Michael vanwin excellent game with Rob Cross3 it took right till the end for it to be decided is this one going to be going all the way here 167 got back on level terms but unable to keep Pace with ller who makes it sensible play didn’t entertain treble 19 and Bullseye just wanted to take his

Bigger chunk out of that as possible well he needed that last start but that might not be enough 70 then to go back in front 20 for tops doesn’t get it so van gets a look at 139 very difficult shot too difficult for mvg in the end he leaves himself on

Tops but Luke ller adors double [Applause] 10 no problem at all 65 two more legs Required Michael vano with managed to level up but finds himself once again in AAS and that is not the start he needed [Applause] here9 the 19’s first he’s hit the treble couldn’t get the double double this time unless vano can raise the roof here well he might be raising the roof can’t hit the treble 20 so ller for a break and to move within one it’s [Applause] Toops three more misses and L snatches the dots out the board shaking his head he just can’t put this game to bed van go in 20 segment leaves double five 84 wow that was close ller will have to tidy up 19 for double 10 double 10 is

Hit a nod of the head a shake of the head from Van Goen and luk L now is throwing for his first senior PDC title he can’t do it again can [Applause] he no he can’t but if he can pick up a treble he doesn’t it is still a makeable

Outshot but there is hope for Van gern needs trebles doesn’t find one so L ller for a moment of darting history is’s looking at 112 doesn’t get the treble he’ll have to wait a little bit longer banging to save himself needs 144 it needed to be perfect and it isn’t

And Luke ller is going to get Championship D the 16y old to complete a sensational tournament a sensational story it is a dream deut in the desert for Luke ller the nuke has beaten them all he is the barin darts Master at the very first time of trying your winner

Receiving the spectacular trophy ladies and gentlemen and for the very first time in his career we crown him the Bahrain D Master ladies and gentlemen your winner Luke the [Applause] [Applause] Nuke me I’m ready I’m [Applause] Ready look
