DIETMAR BURGER has won the East European Qualifier for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.
The Austrian is the latest of the International Qualifiers to earn his spot at Alexandra Palace, winning through a field of 39 players from Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in Eisenstadt.
The 42-year-old from Vienna defeated last year's Polish World Championship qualifier, Krzystof Kciuk, in the quarter-finals and Michael Rasztovits in the semis to set up an all-Austrian final with Christian Kallinger.
Kallinger led 2-0 early on, but Burger won six successive legs to claim a World Championship debut.
Burger joins a number of other International Qualifiers in the preliminary round of the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship, including Japan's Morihiro Hashimoto, Philippines qualifier Juanito Gionson, New Zealand's Preston Ridd, South Africa's Devon Petersen and Ireland's Michael Mansell.
Further qualifying events are being played in Western and Southern Europe, as well as in the Caribbean, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
