Webster then ended Chisnall’s run however, despite the stunning nine-darter.

Emerging star Rob Cross won his second Players title of 2017 with a 6-5 victory over Ian White in the final.

It was the second event of the latest double header, Chisnall having reached round four before a 6-5 defeat to finalist Daryl Gurney.

Peter Wright took the title by defeating the Northern Irishman 6-3 in the decider.

It had been a good run for Chisnall in the first event of the weekend at the Arena MK.

He saw off Ryan Palmer in style with a 6-0 win in the first round, then defeating Jimmy Hendriks 6-1 and Chris Dobey 6-4.

Gurney edged out the Morecambe ace in the decider of their fourth round meeting however.

The next Players Championship weekend will see two £75,000 tournaments held on June 17 and 18 in Wigan.
