Darts World Cup: Humphries goes down Dobey in the Madhouse

Anyone who casts eleven 180s in a secondary finale, comes to a three-dart-average of 97.81 points and still leaving themselves mighty. That's exactly what Chris Obey in the match against Luke Humphries. From the beginning, the two Englishman acted at a very high level.

Humphries lay back with 0: 2 sentences despite a 103-point editing, because Obey clearly cleared the double (6/9). About a 121-point finish Humphries, number 19 of the world, finally found in the game — and nevertheless was allowed to talk about luck that Obey did not use his two sentence fats to 3-0.

A sentence later, Humphries completed the next 121-finish over the Bulls-Eye, but did not cheer long. Obey, noted in rank 30, grabbed the fourth set and led 3: 1.

Humphries remained combative, brought many high footage to the board (at the end of 14 180s!) And forced the decision set. There he breeds directly at the beginning, but as so often in this World Cup, the momentum should change the pages again. Obey came back and only left the butter from the bread in the extension. Although Humphries awarded five match darts there, he managed to double-one, called Madhouse, actually the triumph. Relieved, he sank to the floor after this high-class game.

Ry dz gives the first sentence

The second third round on Thursday had previously begun unfamiliar for Youngster Allan Ry dz, which had not left a single set in the tournament. First, he let himself be baked, then the 23-year-old stumbled on the double — Alan Sou tar used this to 1: 0.

The Scot, one of the positive surprises of the tournament, remained an all other than a pleasant opponent. Sou tar score well and checked a 110 in the second set, yet high-speed player Ry dz almost made a bit defiantly 1: 1.

Then the young Englishman sou tar with a 122 checkout overturned, playing the much better average and forced the opponent to be pace again and again. In the third set Ry dz came right, for Sou tar he was no longer captured. Still somewhat impressive finish and finally ten leggings in a row paved the way to the sovereign 4: 1 success.

The King torments in the quarterfinals

Hempel-Bezwinger Raymond Smith, the last qualifier, had caught the much better start to the match in the first match of the afternoon. In the first sentence, opponents King revealed great problems in the fifth leg major problems in double, the second took the Australian — by his high scoring — even smooth.

For the king it was a more than used afternoon, and again and again, the infamous Rotarian held on the gestures of his counterparty. Only in the fifth sentence, favors from the again fluctuating Smith, he gradually found his game.

After the second break, it was less king, which improved his game greatly, but a Smith's role that came to the English to 2: 1. For the time being, a snapshot, as it should turn out: The clearly better player moved in a qualitatively manageable match to 3: 1 of them.

Because the scissors of both contrasting tendencies continued to deal with, it was suddenly 3: 3. Decision's decision. King was now up and started with a 124-finish, jubilation included. This also left footsteps at Smith, who is a desperate at the double 20 and remained in the last sentence without Leg profit. Although King in the end, there were five match darts, but moved after a tormented catching hunt but still into the quarterfinals.
