Christian Kist became the latest player to throw a nine-dart finish at the PDC World Championships.
Razma, however, would bounce back to win 3-1.
Smith hit one just after opponent Michael van Gerwen had missed his attempt and duly sent commentator Wayne Mardle into the iconic: “This is the most amazing leg of darts you’ll ever see in your life. I can’t spake, I can’t speak” line.
Kist’s stunning leg already looks like one of the highlights of this year’s championship.
