There was nothing separating the two in the first five legs, all the legs going with the throw as 'Hollywood' took a 3-2 lead.

Dobey then found daylight with a crucial break of throw but 'Bullyboy' did not back down and clinched an incredible 164 on the bull to level the game at 5-5.

Dobey then eventually finished off a nervy leg to break the throw and level the game at 8-8 but Smith hit straight back with a break of his own to put himself one leg away, the 2022 Grand Slam champion missing two match darts to allow the Newcastle man to level the game at 9-9.

 

It was then an incredible final leg from the pair that rained T20s in which they missed a ludicrous 18 match darts between them, D4 eventually giving Smith the game.

Michael Smith talks through his version of events as he pulled off an amazing comeback against Chris Dobey.

"I won't say he [Dobey] didn't want it. Something happened and he kept missing and I was thankful for that. I should never have been in that match or been in front, I should never have won, but I will take it," Smith told Sky Sports.

"I'm happy to be here but it's annoying me. I'm trying to remind myself of 2022 and forcing things instead of having fun. I've just got over the line but I'm still here in the quarter-finals.

"It's always a battle now. Every game I play now, they always go to last legs, and I hate it, it's doing my head in. I'll watch the game back tomorrow. I'm into the next round, I'm happy. I nearly threw it away in the last leg so I'll take it all day long."

He now plays Humphries in the quarter-finals after he cruised to a 10-3 victory against former World Youth Championship finalist Jurjen van der Velde, who enjoyed his moment on the big stage on debut.

Highlights of the Grand Slam of Darts second round match between Luke Humphries and Jurjen van der Velde.

Humphries came into the match nursing a suspected back spasm on his throwing arm, but it showed no signs of affecting his throw, the world No 1 wincing at points but battling through as he was 5-0 up in no time with a 10-darter, 83 per cent success rate on the doubles, and a staggering 117.42 average in the first session.

Van der Velde eventually got a consolatory leg on the board to bring the score to 7-1 and took his moment, lapping up the applause from the crowd. Another leg then came in the 10th as he clinched D8 once again with a smile on his face, a sensational 164 on the bull rounding off his electric moments.

Luke Humphries reveals his woke up with a spasm that almost made him pull out of the tournament and required three hours of physio to get him ready for the his match against Jurjen van der Velde.

"I have no idea how I made that happen. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't lift my head off the pillow," Humphries told Sky Sports.

"I think I had a back spasm. I was thinking I might have to pull out today, my back was so bad.

"I've got to thank Mandy, my physio, who spent three hours massaging it. I think adrenaline got me over the line.

"I guess I'm just a fighter. I surprise myself sometimes. From almost having to pull out this morning to playing like that - it's something special."
