 During the second leg of the sixth set of the match between van Barneveld and Klaasen, van Barneveld threw the first-ever nine dart finish at a PDC World Darts Championship since the split from the British Darts Organisation in mid-1993, and only the second World Championship nine-darter (first live) after Paul Lim's similar outshot against Jack McKenna in 1990.It was van Barneveld's second nine-darter on live British television after his nine-darter against Peter Manley during the 2006 Premier League, and he used T20, T19, D12 to complete the perfect leg.As they have done for every PDC World Darts Championship, Sky Sports broadcast all 69 matches live in the UK, and for the first time in high-definition.
