And during the seventh set the 16-year-old sensation checked out with 122 left on the board to level up the legs to 2-2.
Littler turned away from the board and celebrated with a steely face as he walked past Humphries ready for his next throw.
The superb showing of darts followed by the celebration left Mardle in awe and he produced a superb piece of commentary to match.
He said: “That could be the one! That could be the one that breaks the number one’s [Luke Humphries] heart.
“Look at his face. Look at his face!
“That was just spiteful, that was dirty, that was nasty. That was everything that Luke Littler wanted to do.”
Littler gave a valiant effort to try and win the World Darts Championship but in end suffered heartbreak at the hands of Humphries.
The world number one walked away with the Sid Waddell Trophy and £500,000 in his pocket as well after a 7-4 win on sets.
