Truly bizarre 3rd leg in the second set just now:

 

180 Van Gerwen

180 Smith

177 Van Gerwen

180 Smith

Van Gerwen misses the 9-dart finish on double 12

Smith finishes 141 for a 9-dart finish

Smith leads 5-3...

[heywoodu 13,562]

Smith is starting to look rather convincing  

[Monzanator 3,599]

And it's 6-3. Only a huge meltdown can deny Smith now...

Well, slowly that's starting. You can just sense the "in 5 minutes I can be world champion" nerves getting to him.

[Monzanator 3,599]

Smith avoids the meltdown and becomes World Champion!

 

Well, his wife is Polish is that's as close as Poland comes to winning WCh in darts

What a beauty of a final and what a fantastic champion, absolutely deserved it and it could barely go to any nicer guy in the world of darts

It's funny, I know a guy from England who is an amateur player himself and he thinks Smith is another idiot (not on Price's level but still). He is a Peter Wright fan so what do I know about crazy characters in darts

Yeah, he must have some personal grudge or whatever. Basically everyone in darts always talks about Smith like one of the nicest players around, he never really says anything bad about anyone, even after winning his very first world title he started rushing off to family, but quickly turned around to first shake his opponent's hand, and then went to his family. Barely ever any weird antics or unsportsmanlike stuff, almost always gracious in defeat as well.

 

No, people who say Smith is another idiot just can't be taken serious...
