Before a fervent crowd of 9,000 at the PreZero Arena, Price produced a stellar 103‑average performance to triumph in a gripping last‑leg decider on Polish soil. The result marked his fourth World Series of Darts title, adding to earlier ton‑plus displays against Chris Dobey and Rob Cross.
This clash mirrored the final of the Bahrain Darts Masters in January, though this time Price emerged victorious to claim the £30,000 first prize.
Bunting began strongly, responding to Price’s dazzling 137 finish with successive 96 and 68 visits to surge into a 4‑2 lead. Yet, Price rebounded with five of the next six legs, establishing a 7‑5 advantage.
Bunting then capitalised on three missed match darts in the penultimate leg to drag the contest to a decider. He left himself on tops after 12 darts, but Price produced a composed 91 checkout, concluding with double 17 and double 20 to clinch the title.
"To go double‑double in that final leg with Stephen sat on a double was fantastic. I'm over the moon," said Price, who has also collected three Players Championship titles in 2025.
He added: "I felt like I was missing opportunities and Stephen was taking advantage. I was getting frustrated with myself and to go into the break 4‑2 down, I was disappointed, but I stuck in there until the end."
Price admitted that the misplacement of his luggage may have worked in his favour. "A couple of years ago I went to Ireland, I lost my suitcase and had to change my darts, change my clothes, change my shoes," he recounted.
"I went on and won the Grand Slam and the rest is history! I've lost my case this weekend, so it's been new darts, new shoes, new clothes and a new me, so here we go!"
Earlier in the tournament, Price romped past Polish teenager Sebastian Bialecki 6‑3 on Friday before defeating Dobey 6‑2 in the quarter‑final. His momentum continued into the semis, where he averaged over 104 to beat Rob Cross 7‑3, winning seven of the last eight legs.
Bunting’s route to the final saw him toppling Poland’s Krzysztof Ratajski and reigning champion Luke Littler, reaching his fourth World Series final this year. He delivered an extraordinary 150 checkout to edge past Ratajski in a deciding leg, before convincingly beating Littler 7‑3 in the semis.
Bunting was in pursuit of his third World Series title of the year – a feat previously achieved only by Gary Anderson and Phil Taylor – but was thwarted by Price's brilliance.
"I've really enjoyed this weekend," stated the world number four.
"You cannot give Gezzy opportunities, because he's absolutely class. That double‑double finish – I just said to him: 'That was unbelievable'. It was a great ending to a brilliant game."
Littler, although stopped by Bunting, produced fireworks of his own with 170 checkouts in matches against Bunting and Nathan Aspinall, averaging 104.88 in the quarter‑final victory over Aspinall.
Meanwhile, the other quarter‑final saw Cross topple 2023 champion Michael van Gerwen 6‑4, capitalising on van Gerwen’s inconsistent performances.
The World Series heads next to a double‑header in Australia and New Zealand in August, featuring a glittering cast of the sport’s top names.
