When it came to those win-or-go-home last eight encounters, Michael van Gerwen went 2-0 down before storming into a lead against Michael Smith, only to falter in the final two legs and lose 6-5.
Littler vs. Humphries was the next match out. The scores were tied at 1-1 when a Humphries 180 forced Littler into a sloppy score of 26. He rallied from that position, though and held on his throw before breaking the world champion when he had the honour of throwing first.
Humphries had some issues with whistling fans that Sky sports commentator Wayne Mardle referred to as "imbeciles". After he fell 3-1 behind, Littler's started off with a 180 and never looked back. He closed out a 6-2 win to set up a semi-final against Smith.

Luke Littler was asked about those comments and replied, "Big boys' league? Surely I am one of them now. I have joined them in the big boys' league. This is what I have signed up for – to play with the best of the best. I am looking forward to playing these boys, week-in, week-out."
Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross would face off in the other semi-final, as the Premier League Darts season got off to a cracking start. In the semis, Price and Smith won close ones to set up a tasty finale.
