The 8th Player Championship in Birmingham was won by Michael van Gerwe which was his second victory in a Player Championship this year. After his win he talked in front of the camera of the PDC and he told that he was delighted with this victory. He has learned to stay focussed even against slow players like Justin Pipe and Dennis Priestley.
In the Player Championship he won earlier he defeated Whitlock by throwing a 9-darter and a 170- finish.
