He won 18 of the 26 legs he played, beating three former world champions - Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Michael Smith - to get his first ever night win in the competition.

Night six winner Luke Humphries, speaking to Sky Sports after his victory in Brighton: "I've felt like I haven't played my best since the World Championship, maybe for the first six weeks, and I've come back playing a lot better. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get used to all of the scenarios of what you're going through.

"The UK Open [reaching the final] was a massive boost for me. I know I didn't win it but my game was in a good place, I played well. I've come here today and upped my game even more. There have been a couple of runners-up [trophies] since then [winning the world title] so it's nice to have a winners' trophy."

Here's how the table looks after Luke Humphries' victory in Brighton...

Smith is starting to think this might be on!

Luke Humphries' level has dropped a tad in the past couple of legs since he went 5-1 up.

Michael Smith takes out 85 and it's back to 5-3.

Smith starts leg seven with a 180 and 140. Humphries comes back with a 180 of his own but Smith has time to miss a couple of darts at double before wrapping it up on double eight.

Smith isn't being allowed to catch his breath here.

Michael Smith is playing his part in this final, averaging just shy of 100, but Luke Humphries is just playing too well.

Smith needs to take out 124 to break but can't do so, giving Humphries a shot at 68 - which of course he takes.

Humphries is on 41 after nine darts, Smith hits a 180 to put pressure on, but what pressure?

Luke goes 3-1 up.

Luke Humphries back in front, taking out 143 as easy as you like.

Then he bangs in a 180 with his first visit of the fourth leg. Break of throw incoming?

Look at how aggressive that was thrown!

Smith gets down to a finish first and sets himself up from 121 to leave double eight - but misses eights, fours and twos!

Humphries gets a shot at the bull to break but misses, and Smith gets it done eventually.

The winner of this match, which is the best of 11 legs, will go second in the table and three points behind league leader Michael van Gerwen.

First blood to Luke Humphries, who lands a dart in double six for the first leg.

Michael Smith starts the second leg with a 180.

World number one against world number three.

2024 world champion against 2023 world champion.

Luke Humphries to throw first.

And what timing - I've just had a fresh brew delivered to my desk.

A quick slurp of tea and it's game on!
