Gurney needed a win to keep his tournament hopes alive.

However, the defeat left the fan favorite on the verge of elimination.

His 5-3 victory over Connor Scutt later that night ultimately led to Gurney's early exit.

The player seemed to be feeling the pressure as soon as his match against Sedlacek concluded.

The two competitors shook hands before retrieving their darts.

But Gurney immediately approached referee Kirk Bevins, engaging in what appeared to be a heated discussion with the official.

This confrontation could potentially lead to repercussions from the PDC.

Nevertheless, SunSport understands that as of Sunday night, the PDC was unaware of the incident that occurred on stage.

Meanwhile, Beau Greaves lost a last-leg shootout to two-time world champion Gary Anderson.

The 21-year-old thrower from Doncaster came within one leg of a remarkable victory in Wolverhampton but fell short of the biggest achievement in her PDC career.

Legendary player Anderson, 54, rallied from 2-0 down and clinched his 5-4 win with a 103 checkout in the ninth leg.

Greaves will now face German player Niko Springer in her final Group G match on Tuesday, while the Flying Scotsman will take on his long-time rival Michael van Gerwen.
