Tony getting a bit ahead of himself there saying that Benito had a 164 shot for the title.
Darryl nails tops to save himself. Tiebreak situation again.

OMG!!!
Darryl blows it and and Benito escapes!
Darryl breaks and then throws for the match…
…but Benito breaks back nailing bull with his last dart.
Unbelievable darts.
That young Dutch lad looked stunned to have hit the bull…
I really hope that bull finish by Benito doesn’t break Darryl psychologically.
Let’s hope he doesn’t go to the same psychologist as Big Robbo!
And Darryl takes out 102!
Wow! Darryl takes out 102. Can he hold his throw to win this time?
He just needs to man up.
Great to see the Dazzler go one step beyond the first round for the first time since 2009.
And Darryl wins through in a classic. His demeanour was splendid in those last two legs and there was no way he was going to allow young Benito to take that match from him - it was a real case of “thou shalt not (van de) Pas(s)”.
He had the greater match fittoness.
Brilliant! Nat Coombs interviewing Darryl and shows him the clip of his final match-winning double. Darryl breaks down in tears as he sees the footage of his own daughter’s tears of victory.
The Lakeside.
No more words.
It was Fitton that the match went to a tie-break.
Real people, real darts.
What a moment for Wales’s Wayne Warren as he wins his first leg ever on the Lakeside stage. He’s appeared at the championships before but was completely whitewashed in 2005. And boy is his daughter Lisa happy.
And now he’s levelled the first set at 2-2.
You’ve got a proper creepy obsession with BDO player’s wives and children.
Norris nicks the first set 3-2 taking out bull with his last dart.
If only…
The only creep is you. Players’ wives and families are an integral part of the Lakeside TV experience. That’s because there’s a tremendous, welcoming family atmosphere where they can mingle with everybody else. Unlike at the Alexandra Palace where they’d probably be beaten up by some scummy drunk like this charmer.
13 and 12 darts legs by Wayne since the break.
Nice finish on bull there to take out 121.
