Christian Kist Throws Historic Nine-Darter

Christian Kist made headlines after hitting the first nine-darter at the PDC World Championship, earning him a £60,000 prize. This accomplishment occurred during his first-round match against Latvia's Madars Razma, despite Kist ultimately losing the match 3-1. The prize money is part of Paddy Power's 'BIGGER 180' campaign, which also awarded a lucky fan, named Kris, £60,000. Kist expressed surprise at the windfall, stating he plans to spend it on a family holiday, while Kris, who was chosen randomly from the audience, shared his astonishment and excitement at winning. Prostate Cancer UK also benefited from an additional £60,000 donation due to Kist's achievement. The event showcased the thrilling spectacle of darts and the generous promotional efforts surrounding it.
