Michael van Gerwen maintained his position at the top of the Premier League table with a 7-5 victory over James Wade in Dublin. The world No. 1 came back from 4-2 behind, taking out 138 in the final leg to deny Wade, set on 41, a draw and move two points ahead of Peter Wright and Raymond van Barneveld. Wright produced a sensational comeback to salvage a 6-6 draw against struggling Dave Chisnall. Chisnall raced into a 6-3 lead, throwing seven 180s, but Wright, inactive in Cardiff last week following Kim Huybrechts' withdrawal for family reasons, roared back to claim a point. Phil Taylor, in his 200th Premier League game, and Adrian Lewis boosted their playoff hopes courtesy of 7-3 victories over Van Barneveld and Gary Anderson respectively. Van Barneveld then bounced back from his earlier defeat in his second visit to the oche, hammering Wade 7-2 in the final match of night 10.
