However, that journey ended at the quarter-final stage as a ruthless Wright matched his group-stage win over Sherrock, holding off a brilliant performance from Sherrock, who averaged more than 100 for much of the contest over a longer format, but missed a couple of crunch darts at double to come up short.
Needed his best darts just to compete, and in front of a boisterous crowd who cheered her every arrow, Snakebite maintained his perfect finishing record to claw his way into a lead for the first time after Sherrock missed a dart at double 16.
The pair split the next six but Wright's flawless early doubling was beginning to let him down, and Sherrock was creating chances and matching the world No 2 in the scoring stakes, only to miss three darts to level at 7-7.
Smith had other ideas with a spectacular start to claim the first five legs, averaging almost 110 and hitting five 180s on his way to a 5-0 lead. Bully Boy missed just two of his seven darts at double, while Van Gerwen had seven himself but failed to hit the outer ring with all of them.
Van Gerwen added a spectacular 170 finish to hang on and then punished missed darts from Bully Boy to close back within three again. But Van Gerwen's doubling profligacy continued as he took his tally to 19 with two more going begging.
Smith missed five darts for a 14-9 lead and Van Gerwen broke but the expected recovery never came as he missed another chance to consolidate and Smith was far enough in front to claim a memorable victory despite a late MvG flurry.

Aspinall followed up legs of 14 and 13 darts with a 106 checkout to lead 4-2, and despite spurning five match darts in an edgy conclusion, he regained his poise to wrap up proceedings via double eight.
Dave Chisnall pulled off an astonishing comeback to reach the semi-finals and ensure Keegan Brown did not cause a second upset at darts' Grand Slam in Wolverhampton.Brown, who knocked out 2012 champion Raymond van Barneveld in the last 16 on Wednesday, led 8-2, 10-5 and 13-8 before Chisnall won eight out of nine legs to win 16-14 and advance to the last four."I don't know how I won that game," Chisnall said. "Keegan's such a good young player and he deserved to be as far ahead as he was."I really struggled with my scoring in the first part of the game, but I managed to start finding the treble 20 again and I got on a roll. My confidence is high at the moment and I'm feeling really good about my game, especially my finishing." Michael van Gerwen is out after being beaten by Kim Huybrechts  PA Photos Enlarge Kim Huybrechts hit a stunning nine-darter as he stormed past Michael van Gerwen to join Chisnall in the semi-finals.Belgian star Huybrechts was already on course for victory against van Gerwen when a brilliant display against the world champion put him 12-3 and 13-7 up.He then kicked off the 21st leg with two 180s, before finishing 141 with treble 20, treble 19 and double 12 to complete his first televised nine-dart leg - only the second in the eight-year history of the Grand Slam."I'm absolutely buzzing - it's the best game of my life," Huybrechts said. "It has to be my best performance ever. A nine-darter and a win against the world champion and world No.1."Michael didn't take his chances and you never expect to be 12-3 up, and though he came back I managed to get there in the end."  ESPN Sports Media Ltd ESPN staff View all articles var omniPageName = "News:Kim Huybrechts stuns Michael van Gerwen at darts' Grand Slam, Dave Chisnall beats Keegan Brown";var omniCt = "story";var omniSiteSection1 = "Darts";var omniSiteSection2 = "News";var omniStoryId = "368723";var omniAuthId = "ESPN staff";var _isStory = 1;

Smith threw himself onto the stage in tears after the winning dart to claim the title and the grand prize of Â150,000 as the winner. He admitted: "I don't even know how to celebrate, I'm only used to giving the runner-up speech!
He would then lead for the first time in the match a leg later. Despite busting on 9, and missing darts at double, he would checkout on Double 4 after Wade missed three darts at double on his own, that lead would extend to 14-11.
