Ted Hankey was in imperious form throughout the tournament, reaching the quarter-finals without dropping a set and battling back from 4-2 down in the semi-finals against Chris Mason - who had earlier thwarted Raymond van Barneveld's ambitions of three consecutive BDO World titles - to win 5-4. He then took just 46 minutes to beat Ronnie Baxter 6-0 in the final - finishing off with a maximum 170 checkout.

Hankey also hit a record 48 180s in the tournament, including 22 against Mason.

gollark: I would make it its own *user* account, and then make it run as effectively a selfbot.
gollark: No it wouldn't.
gollark: Solvable, we'll just make AutoBotRobot its own illegitimate user account.
gollark: I demand that we transfer control of the server to an impartial bot which will not do this stuff, like <@!509849474647064576>.
gollark: BAN LYRICLY, THE OWNER!
