Grand Slam of #Darts Waites Wins and wrap up commentary

Watch live video from fotoman9's channel on Justin.tv

Glory For Comeback Kid Waites

SCOTT WAITES defeated James Wade 16-12 to win an incredible Daily Mirror Grand Slam of Darts final, coming from 8-0 down in claiming the £100,000 title at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
http://www.pdc.tv/page/GrandSlamDetail/0,,10180~2226946,00.html

leg 26
Wade to throw first.
Wade needs 170 and leaves 112
Waites needs 81 leaves 25

Waites takes it!
Waites 16-12

This is one of the greatest collapses ever as Wade allows Waties to come back from 8-0 to win the match. Wade several chances to press his advantage, but could not get it done. One has to wonder, based on his strong start, if Wade just ran out of gas after his hard match earlier and short rest. One may never know for sure, but well done to Waites. He would make a great addition to the PDC ranks.
