Barney crashes out of the PDC World Championships
Raymond Van Barneveld was matched at a low of 1.21 after going a set up against Kevin "The Artist" Painter in the third round of the PDC World Championship, but went on to lose 4-2. Barney was also matched at a low of 3.6 on the winner market.
Painter, who was matched at 5.6 during his match with Van Barneveld, is now into 7.8 to win the tournament, having been matched at a high of 220. He will now play Adrian Lewis in the quarter-final and is the marginal favourite at 1.91 to progress.
Phil Taylor, who has been unconvincing in all three of his matches to date, remains the favourite for PDC glory and is available at 2.4.
