- Darts star Dave Chsinall suffered a humiliating miscount against Ricky Evans
- Chisnall’s misery was compounded as he ended up being beaten by Evans
Darts star Dave Chisnall suffered a humiliating miscount in his defeat against Ricky Evans.
Evans ended up securing a 3-2 win but Chisnall’s mistake was the main talking point.
Chisnall needed to hold his throw in order to send the game into a sudden death leg.
He thought that he had secured a 139 checkout in the fifth set after taking out D16.
That prompted celebrations from the 44-year-old, who pointed his finger to the crowd.
However, he should have been taking out D20 and he soon realised his mistake after it was explained to him, with his celebrations being cut short.
