Play-Offs

Wembley Arena, London

  • The play-offs were originally scheduled for 23 May, but due to a power cut in the area surrounding the Wembley Arena, they were postponed until 24 May.
  • Nine dart finishes

    The finals night saw the second and third nine dart finishes of the 2010 Premier League Darts, and third and fourth in Premier League Darts overall, in the final between Phil Taylor and James Wade. Trailing 1–0 after losing the throw in the first leg, Taylor responded with a 174 (T20, 2 T19s), 180 (3 T20s), and 147 (T20, T17, D18) to take the second leg against throw. This was Taylor's first nine dart finish in the Premier League, having only been achieved previously by Raymond van Barneveld. This was also the first nine dart finish in a televised final. In the 15th leg he hit the second nine dart finish of the night with two 180s and checked out on 141 (T20, T19, D12). This was the first time that the same player achieved two nine dart finishes in one match. After the second nine darter, Taylor made it 17 consecutive perfect darts, needing only T17 D18 for a 3rd nine darter and second on the trot, he missed the T17 by an inch.
