DARTS star Dirk van Duijvenbode produced an unusual nine-darter at the German Darts Championship on Friday night.
The Dutchman, 33, was in action against Czech veteran Karel Sedlacek.
Van Duijvenbode had the Hildesheim crowd in the palm of his hand as he achieved the remarkable feat.
Ordinarily a nine-darter is produced with two 180s, a treble-20, treble-19 and double 12.
Quirky star Van Duijvenbode instead took the unusual route of going for two 180s, a treble-17, treble-18 and double 18.
The Titan wildly fist pumped and roared after making his nine-darter.
Sedlacek smiled and sportingly applauded his opponent, with the pair then shaking hands.
The crowd, meanwhile, bounced around in sheer delight.
Van Duijvenbode’s feat saw him level the contest up at 2-2.
And the charismatic star rode the wave of momentum to go on and win 6-4, booking a place in round two.

Van Duijvenbode’s reward will be a clash with No4 seed Chris Dobey.
The match will take place this evening at Hildesheim.
Speaking after his win, Van Duijvenbode said: “This is a big dream coming true.
“I have hit three nine-darters this year, but I’ve always wanted to hit one on a stage, because those really count.
“It’s such a relief to hit my first nine-darter on the big stage, so I am very happy of course!”
