Price let himself be stirred up and seemed to be more concerned with Van den Bergh than with his game. After he managed to win a leg for 3-6, he tried to stir up the crowd. Van den Bergh, however, remained stoic, although Price did take care of the rebreak just before the second break: 4-6.

Van den Bergh, however, came out of the dressing room hyper-concentrated and again took a three-leg lead after another break. After a lesser moment in the game, missing a relatively feasible checkout, Price came back to 6-8. Price even made it 7-8 in his own leg. Although Price showed himself from his smallest side. He went on to challenge Dancing Dimi with a dance.

After that, however, things got a bit more even. With his ninth 180, Dimi pressured Price at 8-10, but missed the bull before checkout. Price, however, could not take advantage of it, so Dimi could make it 8-11 with a break. Van den Bergh again took the upper hand and again smoothly threw some 180’s and again caused a four-point gap: 8-12.

And Van den Bergh also deepened that gap. After another break it was suddenly 8-13. Price saw stars. On his own leg, Dimi made it 8-14. The victory came closer. And it eventually came. Price gradually saw the hopelessness of the case and lost heart. He just hit something. Dimitri was on a roll and broke again for 8-15. Dancing Dimi was allowed to finish it on his own leg, but had to postpone his joy dance for a while, because Price struggled with a break. Although Dimi just did the same, after which he took the victory. Very nice victory of Dancing Dimi and he can prepare for the semi-finals.
