The BetMGM Premier League campaign’s ending is gradually in sight as eight players try to secure their spot in the top four.
Rotterdam hosted Night 11 of the tournament, and at no surprise from all the drama two weeks ago, Luke Littler did not get the nicest of receptions.
However, ‘The Nuke’ was still able to win and proceed to the next round as he defeated Gerwyn Price 6-3.
Luke Humphries had finally won a Premier League match for the first time in four weeks as he conquered Gian van Veen 6-2 in enemy territory.
Another Dutchman could not prevail in his home country as Jonny Clayton knocked out Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final by winning 6-2.
Josh Rock comfortably defeated Stephen Bunting 6-1 as both men earned good averages, but the Northern Irish player was more accurate with the checkouts.
Despite Humphries’ impressive 164 checkout, he couldn’t defeat the world champion as Littler won in the deciding leg to make it to the final.
‘The Ferret’ and ‘Rocky’ also went to a deciding leg in their semi-final as the Welshman just edged a 6-5 win to book a place in the final.
In the battle between the top two players of the Premier League, it was the league leader who thrived as Clayton defeated Littler 6-4 to increase his points gap at the top.
The 51-year-old is now on 29 points, five in front of second place as it doesn’t seem long before his spot will be secured in the play-offs.
