Taylor suffers sensational defeat
Stoke-on-Trent star Phil Taylor's dominance in the Premier League is over after he was beaten 10-6 in the semi-final by Norfolk's Mervyn King.
Taylor, who had won the league four years in a row, led 4-3 but saw that slip as King took a 9-5 lead before he kept his nerve to reach the final.
Taylor said: "I'm gutted but it's not the end of the world, I've no excuses."
Aldershot's James Wade went onto win the title 13-8, beating King in the final to land the £125k first prize.
