So close, yet so far, and the wait goes on for the first nine-darter at this year's World Darts Championship.
Mensur Suljovic defeated David Pallett 4-3 on Monday in a match that will be remembered for both players almost hitting the dream darts shot, only to miss with their ninth arrow. Suljovic sank to his knees in disappointment and Pallett just laughed it off.
At the height of panto season it was wonderful drama at Ally Pally - watch the video above.
