Dutch darts star Christian Kist has revealed what he plans to spend his £60,000 prize winnings on after hitting the first nine-dart finish at the PDC World Championship on Wednesday in stunning fashion. Kist was playing in the first round of the sport's biggest competition at Alexandra Palace against Latvia's Madars Razma when he produced a piece of magic with the first set tied at two legs.
Rather than feeling the pressure that comes with a deciding leg on the world's biggest darts stage, the 31-year-old instead stepped up to the oche and produced the perfect leg. Kist showed calmness amongst the chaos of the Ally Pally and coolly stepped up amidst a high-pressure moment to hit consecutive 180s and completing the incredible nine-dart feat with a 141 finish.
Thousands of fancy dress-clad punters went wild as Kist's final arrow settled in the cushion and the Dutchman pumped his fist in celebration, as Paddy Power made their first £180,000 payout. The tournament sponsors are dishing out the six-figure bonus for every nine-dart finish recorded with £60k going to the player, a supporter in the crowd, and Prostate Cancer UK.
