Dick won seven more games to return for the final rounds as #2 seed. In the quarter-finals, he beat [[Frances Rush]] 75-65 in a closely-fought game, and dispatched [[Gavin Rogers]] 69-51 in the semi-finals. In the [[episode 757|final]], he faced boy wonder and hot favourite [[Allan Saldanha]]. The game had its fair share of controversy as, in round 11, Allan had {{word|YOLKED}} wrongly disallowed (for more detail, please see the Allan Saldanha article).
