Damon Heta sent out Alexandra Palace into crisis on Friday afternoon after he struck a mind-blowing nine-dart surface off a ₤ 60,000 payment to a random fan in the crowd at the PDC World Darts Championship.

The sensational moment came throughout his second-round clash against English player Luke Woodhouse.

But the Australian could not ride his momentum, with British darts star, Woodhouse returning from going 3-1 to clinch nine straight legs of darts and advance to the last 16 at the World Darts Championships for the very first time in his profession.

Despite the defeat, Heta will leave with ₤ 60k in his pocket, following his epic nine-dart accomplishment.

For this year's PDC World Darts Championship, Paddy Power are paying a total of ₤ 180k for each nine-darter scored throughout the tournament, with the funds to be divided 3 ways.

The player who tosses the ideal leg will receive ₤ 60k, a lucky fan at Alexandra Palace will also be handed a ₤ 60k cheque, while the sports betting company are also set to donate ₤ 60k to Prostate Cancer UK, the main Charity partner of the competition.

A fan in the audience who was wearing a yellow trilby hat and a Christamas-themed sports betting jacket was selected as the lucky winner of the big prize money.

The World No 9 won himself ₤ 60k with the perfect leg, with Paddy Power also now set to donate another 60k to charity and to a random fan in the crowd at Ally Pally

Hilariously another fan had actually been seen holding an indication behind the man that checked out Wayne Mardle's iconic 'I can't spake' line, which the legendary darts commentator had actually said following Michael Smith's nine-darter at the 2023 World Championships.

Paddy Power are also contributing ₤ 1,000 for each 180 thrown throughout this Year's championship as part of their Bigger180 project.

Heta's perfect leg was the 2nd nine-dart finish at the tournament. Since this morning, Paddy Power had actually raised over ₤ 500,000 for charity with 462 180s having actually been struck at the competition prior to the start of this afternoon's session.

The Australian began improperly against Woodhouse, with Heta yielding the very first set, being broken by his opponent in the final leg of the very first set.

He struck back in the second term with an exceptional passage of play, racking off two 180s and the last 141 in style.

The 37-year-old Australian, who comes from Perth, jumped around the phase in jubilation and at one point even appeared to jump off the phase.

His opponent, Woodhouse, looked just as excited as Heta did, jumping up and down on the phase before revealing his class, providing the Aussie star a hug and raising his hand in the air to celebrate the marvelous accomplishment.

The Brit, 36, has been hailed for his reaction to the moment online, with one fan writing: 'Luke Woodhouse's celebration after Heta's nine-darter is class.'

Paddy Power later on revealed the gentleman who had actually won the ₤ 60,000 reward pot

Woodhouse was applauded for his reaction to his opponent's nine-dart finish, with some lauding his 'sportsmanship'

Heta would go on to control in the third set, winning 3-2 and once again controling the fourth, breaking his challenger two times.

But Woodhouse, who is ranked No 35 worldwide, recovered, winning all three last sets to turn things around on his opponent and progress through to the next round.

A noticeably psychological Woodhouse stated after the match: 'I'm over the moon.'

'It's not simply me it's my partner, my family and my boy. So [I'm doing] really great.'
