However, his last arrow hit bounced off the board, taking another one with it, costing Cool Hand Luke the most.
He was visibly shocked by the strange shot, showing a confused expression as he retrieved his arrows.
Darts fans sympathized on social media, with one commenting: “It’s a real accident.”
Another added: “So hard for Luke.”
A third fan simply wrote: “Brutal.”
Humphries was trailing 3-2 and trailing 2-0 in the sixth set at the time of the incident.
He was unable to recover and save the set, before fighting back to win the next five to claim the match 7-4.
