Vincent van der Voort’s fabulous run in the Players Championship Finals ended inf the semi-finals, where he lost out to Gary Anderson on Sunday evening.
The Dutch ace saw off Dean Winstanley with an excellent display in the afternoon session to reach the last four in a major ranking event for the first time since 2008.
van der Voort, who had previously defeated Andy Hamilton and Peter Wright, triumphed 10-8 in an exciting battle with Winstanley.
But his hopes of reaching the final where quashed by an in-form Anderson, who averaged almost 104 in an 11-7 victory.
Anderson had threatened to win extremely comfortably when he led 10-3 but van der Voort incredibly took out four finishes of over 100 in consecutive legs to give his opponent a fright.
The Scotsman went on to win the tournament, defeating Adrian Lewis in the final.
