This set up a clash with #1 seed Conor Travers. Both players scored the maximum in every letters round, the only time this has ever happened, but both players struggled with two difficult numbers game, which allowed Travers to take a 14-point lead into the conundrum. Travers solved the conundrum and won the game 124-100. 100 is the second highest losing score during the finals stages of a series - Nicole Hutchings got 105 against Stewart Holden in Series 51.
