James Wade defeated Luke Littler 6-5 in the opening round of Players Championship 4.
Wade took a two-leg lead with a crucial break of throw, then held his throw in the fifth leg to go 4-1 up.
Littler brought a leg back at 4-2 as he held his throw, back-to-back 140s in the seventh leg helping him to a break of throw before a hold secured three in a row and brought the clash to 4-4.
With the match then poised at 5-5, and Wade with the throw, he found a 140 followed by a 138 to eventually leave 10 for the match, which he took out for victory.
