World champion Luke Humphries won a third successive night of Premier League Darts on night eight in Dublin.
Humphries beat Michael Smith 6-2 in the final to go seven points clear at the top of the table.
The 29-year-old defeated Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall to reach the final.
Humphries grew his lead over Michael van Gerwen at the top of the table, who was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Gerwyn Price.
The defending world champion’s win in Dublin was his third of the season, having claimed victories in Brighton and Nottingham in the last two weeks.
Welshman Price ended a run of four straight quarter-final exits with a dramatic 6-5 victory over Michael van Gerwen. Price had led 4-1 and missed a match dart against the Dutchman, but held on to win 6-5.
For Van Gerwen, who won three straight nights in Berlin, Glasgow and Newcastle earlier this year, it is now four straight quarter-final exits.
Price then missed the chance to reach the final for the first time since the opening night in Cardiff, missing a dart at bull before losing his semi-final 6-5 to Smith, who won the deciding leg with a 104 checkout.
Luke Littler dropped from third to fifth in the table after suffering defeat in the quarter-finals against Smith. Despite leading 3-1, Smith rallied back and took advantage of inconsistency from Littler to win 6-4.
Wins over Littler and Price for Smith saw him climb two places from sixth to fourth in the table.
Night nine of the league phase will take place in Belfast on Thursday, 28 March.
