- BY MIKE WALTERS

'The Hillbilly' faces No.4 seed Stephen Bunting for a place in the last 16 at the Paddy Power PDC World Championship eight years after he almost died from a serious abdominal illness.

Hurrell (inset) will bank easily the biggest payday of his darts career - a minimum of £45,000 - if he upsets the odds as he did in the second round against Dirk van Duijvenbode.
