The crowd today were unbelievable. Justin Hood won't ever forget this couple of weeks.
You may have heard about Justin Hood's desire to open a Chinese restaurant.
He has been defeated today, but he will still take home £100,000 to put towards it.

Anderson is a wizard, he could win his third title here.

Result: Anderson 5-2 Hood
Image source, PA MediaGary Anderson talking to Sky Sports after beating Justin Hood 5-2 to reach the semi-finals:
"I'm just happy to get over that line. I had control at certain stages, but then I made a mess of it at times, and when it got to 2-2 I thought 'oh dear'.
"I started to get into a rhythm at the end there and throw darts fast and it was working. I'm just over the moon to get through."
On facing Luke Humphries or Gian van Veen next: "Luke Littler is the greatest on the planet right now, but what Humphries has done over the last two years, defending his money, he's there or thereabouts - he's a top-class player. Young Gian Van Veen, also very good. It's going to be a toughy."
On his Championship chances: "Next game first."
Here is how the draw for the semi-finals currently looks:

Image source, PA MediaJustin Hood has been absolutely magnificent.
He's put the smiles on the faces of everyone, a crowd favourite.
Happy Feet will be delighted with the way he's played in this tournament.
But this afternoon is all about Gary Anderson. He used experience, class and control.
Result: Anderson 5-2 Hood
Gary Anderson is through to the last four for the first time since 2022.
It is just the third time he has done so since winning in 2016.
A reminder that 2016 is a decade ago. It doesn't feel like it.
Resuly: Anderson 5-2 Hood
Gary Anderson is through to the semi-finals!
He misses a dart at 24 to win the match. Then he strays into the 12 as he misses three more match darts.
Justin Hood can't take out 126, though, and Anderson hits the double six when he returns.
Anderson 4-2 Hood (2-0)
Image source, PA MediaGary Anderson is now one leg from reaching the semi-finals.
He breaks Justin Hood's throw. Hood hits a maximum to keep up the pressure, meaning he would need 56, but Anderson wraps up the leg first.
Anderson calmly takes out 60, with a single 20 before hitting tops.

It's vintage Gary Anderson at the moment.

That is stunning.
Another 12-darter from Gary Anderson as he takes the first leg and holds his throw.
The finish is lovely, a 161 and a checkout on the bullseye.

Gary Anderson is amazing for his age!

Anderson turned 55 just before Christmas.
Anderson 4-2 Hood (3-1)
Wow. That is exactly what Gary Anderson would have wanted.
A 180 to start, then two 100s. He finishes with a 121.
Justin Hood can't do anything about it. He's back on 251.
Anderson one set away from the semis.

Such a tricky finish 98. That one will sting Justin Hood.
