Luke Humphries produced three superb displays to win night six of Premier League Darts in Brighton.
The world champion, 29, beat Gerwyn Price 6-2, Rob Cross 6-3 and Michael Smith 6-3 for his first-ever night win, which lifts him to second in the table.
Humphries’ victory cut Michael van Gerwen’s lead at the top of the standings to three points.
Van Gerwen went out in the quarter-final for the second consecutive week, losing 6-2 to Cross.
Two-time world champion Peter Wright missed two match darts in the deciding leg of his quarter-final defeat by Smith and the Scot remains without a win in this year’s competition.
Smith, who won night one in Cardiff, then beat 17-year-old Luke Littler in his semi-final but lost against the man that replaced him as world number one in January.
