DENTURE JUSTHATE LOSING..?

- BY MIKE WALTERS

RAYMOND SMITH came unstuck in his Ally Pally moment of tooth.

The Aussie qualifier (above) was so excited to level his first-round tie with Alan Tabern at 2-2, after being two sets down, that he almost lost his false teeth on stage.

But the Queensland­er, making his debut at the PDC world championsh­ip, didn’t have as much to celebrate when Tabern won the decider to book a second-round tilt at two-time champion Michael van Gerwen.

In a bizarre session, Jamie Lewis – a semi-finalist last year before his run was ended by legend Phil Taylor – was buzzed on stage by a wasp.

Lewis had to battle hard to beat New Zealand’s Cody Harris 3-2 after blowing a two-set lead.
