Dobey Misses 11 Match Darts in Thrilling Grand Slam Clash
13 Nov
Summary
- Dobey misses 11 match darts in last-leg decider against Smith
- Humphries overcomes neck pain to average over 108 in dominant win
- Evans stages dramatic comeback to reach Grand Slam quarter-finals
The 2025 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts reached the knockout stage on November 13th, with the first four quarter-finalists decided in a night packed with star names, drama, and quality.
In one of the wildest last-leg deciders in Grand Slam history, Dobey missed an astonishing 11 match darts, while his opponent Smith missed 9. Eventually, Smith pinned the winning double, securing his place in the quarter-finals. For the St Helens star, relief will outweigh the chaos, as he now faces Luke Humphries in the next round.
Humphries, the world number one, powered into the quarter-finals with a frankly ridiculous performance. Despite waking up unable to move his head off the pillow, Humphries averaged over 108, hit seven 180s, and put on a finishing clinic, leaving his opponent Van der Velde superb but ultimately outclassed.
In another dramatic match, Ricky Evans staged a stunning comeback to defeat his compatriot Woodhouse in a last-leg decider. Evans will now face three-time Grand Slam champion Price in the quarter-finals.
