Christian Kist's Nine-Darter Yields Big Wins

Dutch darts player Christian Kist achieved a rare nine-dart finish during his first-round match against Madars Razma at the World Darts Championship, earning him £60,000. As part of the tournament sponsor Paddy Power's 'Bigger 180' campaign, an additional £60,000 was awarded to a random fan in the audience, Kris from Sutton, and £60,000 was donated to Prostate Cancer UK. Despite Kist's historic achievement, which marked the 15th nine-dart finish in PDC World Championship history, he eventually lost the match to Razma 3-1. The random fan, whose attendance was a birthday gift from his grandad, expressed shock and excitement at the unexpected windfall. Kist's achievement has been celebrated for both its sporting significance and its charitable impact.
