Day 5 Darts: World Championships - Highlights

Good evening. We now know the names of the eight quarterfinalsists of

the BDO World Championships after a remarkable night of second round

action. Scott Waites is favourite to lift

the title this weekend. He went up against - it has to be said - the

craziest man to fall in love with (Walk-on music: Be On Your Way, by

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE. Ladies and gentlemen, the pride of

(Walk-on music: Chelsea Dagger, by A breathless start with the first

four sets shared. We join in it the fifth, and Waites is going for the

set. Hold on tight! REFEREE: Game in sets.

Such a simple that you don't think about. Hankey is right up there. Oh,

double top, beautiful. And Waites, stuck straight in, didn't allow

position, and then loses places off the line. Hankey to reply. Can he

nick it? What a dart it would have been!

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

That is a massive dart under set.

Should we have another? REFEREE: 140.

Did Ted Hankey just skip to the board?

He's got it! REFEREE: Second leg, Scott to throw

first. The mercurial Ted Hankey. We saw - he would give a

psychiatrists' convention a whole week's worth of discussion papers!

But how classy was that?! tuning in, it has been like this

all match. REFEREE: 140. I don't know why we have the slip-down,

because it is started like this. It is like someone switched a little

flick back on again. There will be people who watched

the first set, had a phone call, or something to do, for four sets,

came back and thought this has been one of the most magical moments in

the history of the Lakeside World Championship. Well, it dipped a

little. We could be set for a grandstand finish.

Treble 20. No - can't be done now. I would have said three sets to go,

it is fine, but Scott Waites is in the mood now to take this 161 out.

little bit. If he wins this set, she into the quarterfinals.

REFEREE: 180! But I bet you, Hankey replys with a

maximum of his own. That was perfectly set up for him again. But

a 140 - a good reply, forcing Waites to up the ante.

Three great darts from 171. wants double 10. Still there for

him. There you go! Oh oh! REFEREE: And the sixth set, Ted

Hankey. We have had half a dozen sets, not six of the best, but for

the third time now, we are all square in this second round

contest! REFEREE: Game on! Hankey won the

first set, after Waitses missed seven darts and a double to take it.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

And 3-2. When it is all about the second break. Oh! A second bounce-

out of the leg. He cannot finish. He has taken one out of them, but

that is a great start. One apiece, though. So they have evened

themselves up. Butler retrieves the darts. Waites

pulls for double 16. Hits the one, deciding set!

REFEREE: Game on! It is the first of three leg, unless we get to 2-2,

in which case it is a tie-break and we will talk again.

Mum up on her feet pleading with her boy. All of a sudden Hankey

becomes the warm favourite. He has a final set in a match here?

Unlucky Scott Waites with another bounce-out.

12 times Hankey has been taken all the way to a final set. Eight times

he has come out on top. He has only lost three times going into a final

set. One of those was against Wayne Jones, 2012, where he lost 3-2 in

the second round. And one was in the quarterfinal against Dave

Chisnall. But he is the man for battle. He is the first to finish,

and he will have six dart, if he like a man that wants this now.

shoulders, but Hankey responds with only 159. I wonder if Waites is

thinking back to the quarterfinal two years ago.

And the quarterfinal the year before that, where he lost in the

final set decider, where the pressure got to him.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

various ways on this. Treble 20 or treble 18. Treble 20

REFEREE: 58. It is all down to double 10.

On the wire! Ted Hankey can't get the winning line cross. No! Scott

Waites on double 16 - he has been awful on this double. Still is!

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

Still is on that! Double 4 the One of his hardest victories on a

stage where he has twice become world champion! Ted Hankey, into

the quarterfinals, and Scott Waites, one of the favourites for this

one of the favourites for this year's tournament, is out!

I started off really, really well. I missed loads of doubles, and I

got so many chances between that. That could have been 4-0 to me. So

he is - oh, look, I won't even watch it. It was so bad. I did what

I had to do. I knew I was going too slow sometimes. I made a plan

tonight to play fast. First time I did I had 4, 5, 6180 - whatever it

was. Scott was slowing me down - I couldn't believe that. It freed you

up. I just let him go. Bang, they were in. Towards the back end of

the game, he played out of his skin. He upped the pace. I tried starting

off quite quick. He upped it at the end. I had no response for it.

lot of good players. Atkins. Whatever, great players.

But when I need to push it up, I have to push it up. If they go in,

they do, if they don't. What a dumbfounding game of darts.

Next for Ted Hankey, is Martin Atkins, putting away Benito van de

Pas 4-2. Scott Waites-Ted Hankey was not

enough? The young newcomers in the form of Gert De Vos and Christian

promised to put up big numbers. More darts to make your heart race!

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

Again, we join this one of 2-2 all, Christian Kist to hold his throw.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

Extend this session to at least a fourth leg. REFEREE: 180! Oh he is

Gert De Vos, if he leaves himself 60 - oh, that would have applied

the pressure, but he might be more comfortable on this? Oh, this is

the trouble. Gert De Vos, 100. REFEREE: 87.

Yes, he is back in front! He has rattled three off on the

trot, and the man from Holland doesn't want to go Dutch in this

game for long. He has taken a one- set advantage.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

Talk about swings and roundabouts! Christian Kist has been put to the

test as well, but he is coming off He seems to have lost the pace.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

That's Gert. Might go bull. Yeah, he was bull

for double 16. Three three in the hand of Kist. He

can finish for treble 20. And double 16 to break the Belgian!

REFEREE: 80. Unlucky, not close enough.

Well, we know he likes doubles, two darts, he wants double top.

Oh, dear! Oh, dear! So double 16 for Kist.

I have a feeling she might have a smile on her face in a moment. Kist.

Composes himself. REFEREE: 180!

Well, there's a hay maker! Norris has found fift gear. What a

the Gorilla, and an on-fire Tony O'Shea. And Wesley Harms - he will
