Albertino Essers (born May 30, 1969 in Oosterbeek) is a darts player from The Netherlands, who is nicknamed The Sensation. He competes for the British Darts Organisation. In the 2007 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship, he defeated the number 2 seed Scotland's Gary Anderson in the first round, but lost to Scotsman Paul Hanvidge in the second round. Hanvidge beat Essers in the second round in 2006, after Essers had defeated Ted Hankey 3-1 in the first round. At one point Essers suffered from Dartitis, an inability to release the dart while throwing. This was evident in his match against Australian Steve Duke in the first round of the 2004 World Championship. His nerves are still a problem at times, but his recovery and improvement have impressed many players on the tour.
