- Smith knocks out No 1 seed Price; Wright beats Rydz
- Wade romps past King; Anderson holds off Humphries
Michael Smith knocked out the defending champion and No 1 seed, Gerwyn Price, in a thriller to reach the semi-finals of the PDC world championship at Alexandra Palace.
Smith, the runner-up to Michael van Gerwen in 2019, has the chance of another final appearance and will face James Wade in the semi-finals after his 5-4 victory over Price. The Welshman threw a nine-darter but it wasn’t enough to save him.
