The final lasted only 46 minutes, the shortest in the tournament’s history. In the semi-final v Chris Mason, he scored a championship record 22 x 180s in a match.

In the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts he defeated Phil Taylor 5–4 in the group stages giving him 2 wins out of 2 he went on to defeat Michael van Gerwen also 5–4 to proceed to the knockout stage of the competition. As the competition progressed the crowd began to get under the skin of Hankey once more, again booing as he threw his darts and ignoring requests from the referee to quieten down during the throws. Hankey was knocked out of the competition by Steve Beaton in the first knockout stage. During the match he won a potentially crucial leg and after pumping his fist and shouting “Get in there” he proceeded to a prolonged ourburst at the crowd. In the post-match interview he was particularly scathing of the crowd and the organisers for not controlling their behaviour, describing the crowd as “a bunch of muppets”. Despite getting an initial warm response from the crowd (and Hankey was seen smiling and taking the pantomime booing in good spirit) Hankey indicated after last year’s defeat, that he would not return for the 2011 event should he indeed qualify for it.
