Jeff Smith was victorious on Saturday as he was crowned the winner of Champions Week at the Modus Super Series, after defeating Jimmy Van Schie in the final and picking himself up sizable chunk of prize money.
Smith, who entered the finale having won Group B on Thursday and Friday, began the night by winning just one of his two group phase matches, as he firstly defeated Adam Gawlas, before suffering a defeat to Jimmy Van Schie.
However, the Canadian did progress through to the Semi Finals, where he came up against Jurjen Van der Velde, and from there, Smith defeated the young Dutchman, 4-2 to book his place in the final.
In the decider, Smith came up against Jimmy Van Schie for the second time on the night, who’d defeated Graham Usher in the last four.
Once again nothing separated the pair throughout the tie until Smith sealed the victory in a last leg decider to get his revenge against his Dutch opponent and become the winner of Series 11 and join the roll of honour of Champions Week winners.
The MODUS Super Series returns on Monday with the inaugural edition of Rising Stars Week, with the first of three days of Group A commencing, with a field including Series 10 Champion Jenson Walker.
Play will commence from 9:30am BST and will be streamed live on the Modus YouTube channel, Pluto TV or via various bookmaker’ websites worldwide.
