  "account": "Englishman Ross Smith secured a shocking victory in the World Series of Darts Finals, outscoring two-time former winner Gerwyn Price 11-5. The 37-year-old, currently ranked world number 14, won a record-breaking sixth major title of his career with 11 maximums and seven checkouts. Price, who had previously beaten England's James Wade in the quarter-finals, fought back from a 5-5 tie to lose the final. Smith's win ended a tournament of upsets, including world champion Luke Littler's early exit in the quarter-finals. The Warrington-based player had lost his first-round matches in New Zealand and Australia earlier in the season.",
