It was a really tense night, because there were five players who could have been in the two elimination spots at the end of the evening.The first part of the campaign had been pretty miserable for Barney, who had never been higher than seventh. He went into Judgement Night in the eighth spot, just one place above the elimination places, but would benefit from results earlier in the evening. Stephen Bunting drew with Kim Huybrechts, which put the Belgian definitely out, and then Adrian Lewis beat Peter Wright, that meant Jackpot was safe and Wright sat just above the drop-zone. Gary Anderson stood in the way of Barneys hopes of beating the drop By the time he faced Anderson on the oche, Barney had slipped into the bottom two, but a draw would be good enough to save him at the expense of Wright. All the pressure was on the Dutchmans big shoulders as he began his match with Anderson, who was expected to send Barney out.Raymonds future looked bleak when he fell 3-2 behind, but he staged a battling revival to go 5-3 up and eventually a 91 checkout put him 6-4 in front, earning him the point he needed to avoid elimination. The match ended in a 6-6 draw and Wright instead exited the competition, although it was what followed after that, which was absolutely incredible.
