Spoilers for Wednesday 20th June 2018 (Series 78, SF1)

Zarte Siempre vs Phil Davies

Blimey that was close! Congrats to Zarte, commiserations to Phil.

Paul went from a 42 point deficit to just a 12 point decifit, would've been sensational if he won.

Very nice, HOATZINS is a good spot, and you even managed a solution to a numbers round with a typo! The 18 should've been an 8.
