A seven, a six and a five for both players meant that Reams had to beat Briers on the final numbers game to force a crucial conundrum. However Reams declared nothing, and Briers declared 5 away. Briers had won the tournament, and just the conundrum remained. The conundrum was {{word|ELITEBOUT}}. Briers first buzzed in with {{word|LIBOUETTE}} which was wrong, and then comically Reams buzzed in with {{word|[[GANDISEEG]]}}, referring to [[Richard Brittain]]'s [[GANDISEEG|guess]] at the conundrum in the first round.</div></td></tr>
