Vincent started off with a nine in his first ever round, and pulled out a 25-point lead after round 2. This put his opponent, [[Ruth Cappleman]], on the back foot, leading to some unsuccessful gambles on her part which allowed Vincent to eventually win his debut game with a 34-point lead before the last numbers round. In his second game, he faced a tough opponent, [[Ian Simpson]], who held Vincent to a crucial conundrum on level points, which neither solved. However, Vincent won his second game after buzzing in correctly on the second conundrum. In his third game, two nines helped him carve out a personal best of 115 points. In his seventh game, however – despite unravelling another nine-letter word at the start – he was overwhelmed by [[Series 51]] returnee [[Luke Boynton]], who achieved a perfect letters-round performance.
