I hope Smith wins the tournament now. I love the pace that he plays at and his scoring rate.
Please not Wade or Anderson.
Great game although the strange thing is I didn't think Gerwyn played that well tonight, certainly nowhere near as well as his last round.
I do like Michael Smith I have to say.
Great to watch. Plays at a high tempo and seems a genuinely nice guy.
Really hope Smith wins it from here.
Great stuff.
I hope Smith wins the tournament, and playing like he is I can't see anyone getting near him.
£50,000 if you hit two nine darters!
Smith 6/4
Wright 13/8
Anderson 4/1
Wade 7/1
As good as Smith has been he gives up opportunities. Clayton went 2-0 up, O'Connor missed 2 darts at 40 to go 2-0 up in Round 3 and Price had match darts. Either Smith will get punished at some point or his name's on the trophy
Or there's some tomfoolery going to help the betting markets
Smith is consistent plods along and hits the doubles and takes out over 100's as well. It is him or Clayton for me. Knew that Price could not take it tonight. Smith just seems in the zone and plays his game, like he is in the practice room, same as Clayton. Smith V Wright final please.
Wright and Anderson are the better option from a punting aspect.
Smith could get very nervous if he makes the final, where as the other 2 have been there and done it.
Just noticed that Wade is ranked 4 in the world! I'm not sure how the ranking points are worked out, but that surprised me.
It's a rolling total of all prize money won in ranking events. He won the UK Open last year, has made a final and semi final of the Grand Slam and made another TV semi final. He won £25k 2 years ago at the World Championship, so he's already made £75k more to add to his tally for the Order of Merit. If he loses he'll only drop a place (or two) if Michael Smith wins the event or Anderson makes a final. If Wade wins the tournament he'll jump to 3rd (I think).
Complete mismatch this.
Whitewash written all over it, if Smith manages to stay awake!
Well that wasn't in the script! 2-1
Smith is consistent, he takes out the big finishes. He plods along. Smith will be well deserved of the World Title, I thought it would be Clayton but smith beat him. Both players are well deserved. He still needs to get through here first mind. Looking good at the moment.
Wade pulls one back against the darts!
Smith thinking of the prize perhaps?
