Dutch star Michael van Gerwen thrashed Wes Newton 5-1 to book his place in his first televised Professional Darts Corporation ranking final in Dublin.
"It feels amazing to be in the final," said van Gerwen. "It's beautiful that I've done so well in a tournament like this, because it's very difficult with the double start. "I'm very happy that I've played so well, and I think this was my best match in the tournament. My scoring was very good - I have a lot of confidence in my game and I did some damage at the right moments. "I thought I should have been 2-0 up in sets but Wes finished well. I kept calm though and did a job. "The crowd have been fantastic and I hope I can continue this because it's a big game Sunday night."
