Sam McElhinney was a quarter-finalist in Series 68.
McElhinney won four games near the start of the series, and was the only Series 68 and 2013 finalist whose entire heat game run spanned in the original 15-round format. It was replaced by its newer counterpart during the run of the challenger who defeated him, Andy Platt.
He returned to face Joe McGonigle in the quarter-finals but was defeated in a game that is best remembered for a special guest who surprised Rachel Riley on her 1,000th show.
