Unbelievable scenes here as boos continue to ring out when Gerwyn Price becomes the first man to lift the Eric Bristow trophy. I wonder what the great man would have thought of a final like this?

Afterwards he said: "I'm throwing my darts, he needs to wait for his turn. He doesn't like it I'm a little bit up him, unlucky. He can't handle playing me, he just moans all the time and he needs to focus on his own game.

"I was chasing the game all the way through but I knew if I put him under pressure he would crack and he did. I will go down in history as the player to win the Eric Bristow trophy - it means a lot to me."

Doubt we'll hear from Gary Anderson for quite a while!

LEG 20
It's almost turned into a contest on who can wind each other up the most with post double celebrations! This time Price begins what could be another stirring comeback with a 70 checkout for a 15-dart leg that breaks the Anderson throw.
Anderson 11-9 Price

LEG 19
Personally I don't think Anderson should get too cocky but in this leg his mood improves even more when he follows his first 180 of the match with a stunning 144 checkout to complete a 12-darter.

Heated words exchanged on the oche between Anderson and Price! The Flying Scotsman isn't happy with the former rugby player's antics but this doesn't affect the momentum of the match, as Price holds in 17 tense darts to take the lead for the first time since going 2-1 up.

LEG FIVE
First proper blood - if that's even a phrase - to Anderson as he lands a showboating brace of double tops to take out 80 as a 14-darter seals a crucial break at the end of this mini session. He has a bit of cheeky smirk on his face as if to tell Price he's far from intimidated.
Anderson 3-2 Price

LEG FOUR
An unruffled Anderson levels the match with a steady hold of throw, pinning double 16 to complete a 17-darter, with Price back on 100. The Flying Scotsman is averaging around 100 at the moment, with Price 10 points lower.
Anderson 2-2 Price

LEG THREE
It's a good standard of darts early on - albeit nothing spectacular - and Price is showing no sign of nerves out there with a nine 81 checkout to comfortably edge ahead once more.
Anderson 1-2 Price

LEG TWO
Anderson didn't look too impressed with Price's early histrionics but responds well to get his first leg on the board in 13 darts, defying the opening 180 of the match from his opponent.
Anderson 1-1 Price

LEG ONE, PRICE TO THROW FIRST
Early pumped up celebrations from the Iceman as he takes the opening leg on throw with a superb 120 checkout when Anderson was waiting on 32. Great start for the underdog!
Anderson 0-1 Price

1940: The players are out on stage so let the drama begin...

1930: As far as betting goes for this match, I'm obviously happy to have tipped up Gary Anderson at the start and I personally think he'll run away with this one. You can back him at 11/10 with a -6.5 legs deficit on the handicap but I'm not predicting big numbers on the 180s front, especially if it's a shortish match. Anderson hit nine against MVG in what was a 28-leg match and I reckon this will be under 24.

1900: HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORDS. This is only the ninth time these two have met in official tournament play, with Gary Anderson winning six of them, including the last four, and Price taking the other two.

However those pair of victories for the Iceman have only happened on the floor in Players Championship events - the last of which being back in 2015 - while three of Anderson's have come on live TV.

The Flying Scotsman won their quarter-final at the World Series of Darts Finals last year 10-8 before triumphing 10-6 in another last-eight showdown at the Masters back in January.

They also met in week two of this season's Premier League, with Anderson winning comfortably 7-3 although Price is a different player to the one who struggled badly in a maiden campaign which ended in relegation.

1845: ROUTES TO THE FINAL. Below is how both players got this far and their tournament stats. As you can see, Gary Anderson sauntered through to the semi-finals with the minimum of fuss but did so with a ruthlessly high standard of play throughout which he carried into his semi-final with van Gerwen. The key to Gerwyn Price's journey to the final has been his battling spirit although his averages are almost at a level which could trouble Anderson over a long format.

1800: So in a little over 90 minutes, Gary Anderson will go off as hot favourite against the battling Gerwyn Price to win the Grand Slam of Darts title for the first time in his incredible career.

The Flying Scotsman, who picked up his maiden UK Open, World Matchplay and Champions League titles earlier this season, is 1/6 while you can back first-time Grand Slam finalist Price at 7/2 to cause a big shock.

RESULT: MICHAEL VAN GERWEN 12-16 GARY ANDERSON

It's all over and Michael van Gerwen's three-year reign as Grand Slam of Darts champion is over as Gary Anderson beats him 16-12 in an enthralling semi-final.

LEG 20

MVG 9-11 Anderson

LEG 19
We're always treated when these two go blow for blow and the Wolverhampton crowd find their voices again when Anderson lands a crushing 118 checkout to restore his three-leg lead.

LEG 15
Anderson gives it a 'COME ON' as he conjures up a 112 checkout when MVG was waiting on 25 to edge ahead going into the third mini session. It's so hard to call now but I'm sticking with the man I've backed all through this tournament - Gary Anderson.
MVG 7-8 Anderson

LEG 14
MVG charges himself up again with a clinical two-dart checkout from 97 to win the leg in 14 and level the scores in this enthralling semi-final.
MVG 7-7 Anderson

LEG 13
The Flying Scotsman produces four big visits to render MVG's fourth 180 meaningless as he takes the leg in 14 darts to move ahead once more.
MVG 6-7 Anderson

LEG 12
Anderson hits his fifth maximum but later spurns a golden opportunity to break but he hits treble 20 to leave double five which he misses, and MVG comes back to take out tops with the last dart in his hand.
MVG 6-6 Anderson

LEG 11, ANDERSON TO THROW FIRST
Van Gerwen comes back out after the interval with a 180 but Ando defies it to win the leg in 13 darts thanks to visits including 140 and 134, while the Dutchman was back on 88.
MVG 5-6 Anderson

Second Interval: MVG 5-5 Anderson

Odds: MVG is still favourite but his odds have closed in to 8/13 while Anderson is now 5/4 as he looks well up for the fight. The Flying Scotsman leads the 180s count and is 2/5 fav to finish with more. .

MVG isn't fazed one iota as he rattles off an 11-darter that included his second 180 of the match and an 88 checkout to level the scores going into the break.
MVG 5-5 Anderson

LEG NINE
The Flying Scotsman has turned this one around, as his third 180 sets the tone for a stunning 12-darter that he finishes with a 64 checkout. Great contrast to the previous leg!
MVG 4-5 Anderson

LEG EIGHT
The best two players in the world shamble around on their finishing in this leg, with MVG messing up on double one before Anderson eventually pins double six to complete a sloppy 19 darter. It happens to the best of us!
MVG 4-4 Anderson

LEG SEVEN
A bit more like it from Anderson as he follows a pair of 96s with 139 and 140 to leave 30, which he uses all three darts to finish (15, 7, D4).
MVG 4-3 Anderson

LEG SIX, MVG TO THROW FIRST
A lacklustre leg by this pair's high standards is won by MVG in 17 darts, finishing off with a 50 checkout after Anderson wasted a dominant position with three visits of 60 or less.
MVG 4-2 Anderson

First Interval: MVG 3-2 Anderson

MVG 3-2 Anderson

LEG FOUR
Anderson gets his 180 count up and running but it's in vain as three 100+ visits and one of 96 sets up a 13-darter for MVG, who opens up an early two leg advantage.
MVG 3-1 Anderson

LEG THREE
MVG follows up an opening visit of 140 with the first maximum of the match before a score of 165 leaves him 16, which he takes out at the third attempt for a superb 12-darter.
MVG 2-1 Anderson

LEG TWO
Quite a gentle start to the match for these two as MVG gets his first leg on the board in 18 darts, closing it with a 58 checkout.
MVG 1-1 Anderson

LEG ONE, ANDERSON TO THROW FIRST
Firstly, don't expect detailed updates like in the last match - they both throw too fast for my fingers! Four successive visits of 100+ leaves Anderson 25, which he takes out in three for an opening 15 darter.
MVG 0-1 Anderson

1500: Next up is the mouthwatering semi-final between three-time defending champion Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson, who is desperate to win this trophy for the first time in his career.

MVG is 2/5 favourite to beat Anderson for the seventh time in nine meetings this season but the Flying Scotsman (15/8) did get the better of him in their last televised clash at the Champions League of Darts two months ago.

In a nutshell, Anderson has hardly broken sweat (if a little wind) to reach this stage of the competition whereas van Gerwen has toiled his way here, albeit with a much more difficult route and coming up against inspired opposition.

LEG 20
Suljovic stops the rot as his fifth 180 helps him end Price's run of four successive legs but make no mistake about it, that was the Welshman's mini session and there's life in this semi-final yet. The Austrian's checkout percentage has dropped from the mid 70s to below 50% in those five potentially costly legs.
Price 9-11 Suljovic

LEG 19
Four legs on the bounce now for Price as he threatens a stunning comeback from looking dead and burried about 15 minutes ago. Even his haters must give him credit for this, with his latest leg coming in 17 darts with the help of visits of 140 and 125.
Price 9-10 Suljovic

LEG 18
Suljovic's doubling has fallen off a cliff as two more misses go begging and Price takes full advantage to take out 76 for a 15-darter that also included a fifth 180. Even the darts crowd - of all people - are beginning to wish they brought their ear plugs.
Price 8-10 Suljovic

LEG 17
It's not over yet as Price's momentum continues with his fourth 180 of the match that sets up 75, which he takes out for a 15-darter, with Suljovic waiting on 32. You can probably hear his roars back in Wales.
Price 7-10 Suljovic

LEG 16, SULJOVIC TO THROW FIRST
I don't personally mind Price's histrionics on the oche and if he feels it gives him some kind of performance boost - or even rattles the opposition - then fair enough. In this leg he unleashes the animal inside him with a third 180 to leave 30 and put pressure on Suljovic. It works as the Austrian fails with two visits from 77 and the Welshman roars when he finally pins double three.
Price 6-10 Suljovic

Third interval: Price 5-10 Suljovic

Odds: Suljovic is now 1/50, with Price available at 14/1 to pull off a huge comeback win. The 180 battle might be more interesting for a betting point of view, with Price 2/1 and Suljovic 4/6. .

LEG 10
Looks like I did speak too soon a couple of legs ago! I should know better. Price unleashes a brilliant 11-darter after visits of 130, 140 and 135 leave him 96, which he takes out with treble 20 and double 18. Game on.
Price 4-6 Suljovic

LEG NINE
Price is a fighter and he stops Suljovic's run of five straight legs by holding throw in 14 darts, with the help of his second 180 of the match.
Price 3-6 Suljovic

LEG EIGHT
I don't want to blow my own trumpet - or indeed speak too soon - but my betting tip of Suljovic (-2.5 legs) to win on the handicap is going well! The Austrian wins another leg on the spin, this time in 13 darts to go four clear.
Price 2-6 Suljovic

LEG SEVEN
Price doesn't seem that fired up so far and while it's still early days I think part of that must be down to knowing that Suljovic isn't really bothered by it, judging by their two recent meetings this year on the TV stage. The Austrian won them both - at the Premier League and World Grand Prix - whereas someone like Simon Whitlock can come across more rattled and affected on the oche. Anyway, it's another leg for Suljovic who takes out double 16 for a 16-darter after Price narrowly missed bull for a stunning 167.
Price 2-5 Suljovic

LEG SIX, SULJOVIC TO THROW FIRST
Suljovic is now four out of six on the doubles after pinning tops for a 59 checkout to complete a 14-darter that defies Price's first maximum of the match, which left 113.
Price 2-4 Suljovic

Second interval: Price 2-3 Suljovic

Odds: Suljovic is now 4/9 for victory while Price can be backed at 7/4 to come from behind and reach the final. .

LEG FIVE
The first break of the match goes to Suljovic, who started the leg with a 180 and ended it with a 76 checkout to complete a 15-darter - but only after Price missed tops.
Price 2-3 Suljovic

LEG FOUR
A sublime 13-darter from Suljovic levels the score thanks to successive visits of 95, 137, 127, 110 and a closing 32. Price was way behind for much of the leg although a 140 and 145 did at least apply some late pressure.
Price 2-2 Suljovic

LEG THREE
The Austrian hits the opening 180 of the match to leave 81 but he fails to earn a shot at a double in his next visit and Price punishes with a 75 checkout. And thise big pumped up celebrations follow.
Price 2-1 Suljovic

LEG TWO
Suljovic, who beat Price in both their televised matches at the World Grand Prix and Premier League this season, takes little time to get on the board with a cool 15-darter after backing up a lovely visit of 162 that left 32.
Price 1-1 Suljovic

LEG ONE, PRICE TO THROW FIRST
It's first blood to the Welshman as he pins double 20 with his first attempt to complete a 16-darter, showing no signs of pressure despite Suljovic also waiting on tops.
Price 1-0 Suljovic

1310: Price didn't exactly get a rousing reception on his way to the stage but he won't care. He's used to it by now. The Welshman is 13/8 outsider with Sky Bet to win this clash while Suljovic is 1/2 favourite. We're ready to begin...

1300: So first up on the oche will be Mensur Suljovic, who looked more like the dangerous force we know during his quarter-final victory over Dimitri van den Bergh, against the fiery Iceman that is Gerwyn Price.

You can look back on their routes to get here and their tournament stats by clicking here for my betting preview but in a nutshell Suljovic struggled through his group with just one win, laboured past Rob Cross in a below-par second-round match before finally turning on the style last time out.

Price was great in topping his group, albeit losing one match to double 170 checkout hero Simon Whitlock, before brushing aside Josh Payne in round two and getting his revenge against the Wizard in a pulsating and heating quarter-final.

The Wizard missed five match darts only for Price to make him pay by winning three legs on the trot for a 16-15 success. Has he got enough in the tank?

Mensur Suljovic and Gerwyn Price go head-to-head

1245: Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog from the climax of the Grand Slam of Darts, which has seen no shortage of drama including a nine-dart finish, two 170 checkouts in one match, 'fart-gate', and plenty of enthralling matches.

Michael van Gerwen is the 8/11 favourite to lift this trophy event for the fourth year in a row and while he's won 18 events in 2018, including the Masters, Premier League Darts and World Grand Prix, he has failed at the UK Open, World Matchplay, Champions League of Darts, European Championship and World Series of Darts Finals - so he's certainly not that dominant right now.

After a bit of a struggle to get here - including a group stage defeat to Johnny Clayton and two tough knockout matches against Michael Smith and the Ferret once more - he faces a semi-finals against 5/2 shot Gary Anderson, who has lost just four legs in his five games so far.

The Flying Scotsman wants to add this title to his CV for the first time - just like he did for the UK Open, World Matchplay, and Champions League earlier this year - and from what we've seen, he could give MVG a real match later on.

Before then we have the first semi-final between Mensur Suljovic and Gerwyn Price, who you can back at 6/1 and 12/1 respectively to be the last man standing. More on that match coming up.

Below you can refresh yourself with all the knockout stage results as well as how the group tables finished and a few highlights thrown in.
