Great win for Barney v Adrian Lewis.

3-0.

What a finale to the Whitlock v Norris game. Corker!!

Superb opening game tonight.

Whitlock dredging something up from the old memory bank when it looked like he had thrown it away.
Norris is becoming one of my favourite players though- never gives up.

What has happened to Steve West

He beats Phil Taylor and then loses to Daryl Gurney

See the final of the champions league on the BBC made 30th on BBC2 with 850'000 viewers

I wonder now many more 9 darters we'd get if players didn't move away on the 6th dart, just hit the treble 20 again ffs.

You're not making it easier really, give yourself a chance and stay at 20s I say

Doesn't seem that great on the face of it but the BBC would have set their own realistic expectations.

As I said at the time, though, we don't know whether the BBC were just screening the event as a one-off experiment or as part of a greater commitment with the PDC.

This is great stuff from Simon Whitlock against MvG

Crowd don't seem to like MvG for some reason.

MvG gets it done 3-1 - but nice to see Whitlock getting back towards the level he used to play at.

Nice to The Wizard playing well in a major and reach the final stages.

Huybrechts not happy with the crowd after that defeat to Anderson.

Hope you're watching guys what an amazing opening set.

MvG is virtually unplayable when he's in this form.

114 average on double start, for goodness sake

Great game this MvG 3-2 up crazy scoring from MvG in that set.

Looks like Anderson has made the decisive blow to see off Barney.

Chizzy is a much better player than his record and ranking suggest. I would love to see him win a tournament or two

Seems a bit unfair that Thornton has won a couple of majors when Chizzy hasn't. Think of how Peter Wright must feel though!

If MVG wins this will be the first major he has won 3 times

I really don't understand why the Dublin crowd don't seem to like MvG judging by the boos.

Beast mode indeed, Anderson needs to switch on quickly.

Vital set for Anderson.

This match really is being played at an extraordinary pace

MVG wins it 5-2 with a 160 checkout

What a sensational performance from MvG.

It's not often you can say that Gary Anderson is outclassed but he was tonight.

Well done MVG no one would have beaten him tonight what a player

Michael Van Gerwen seems to win these big events so easily, But when it comes to the World Championship he finds it lot tougher to win even though he was won a World title
