On some occasions, the guests of ‘Pasapalabra’ joke regarding the wasted effort they make trying to get seconds so that Orestes and Rafa, in ‘El Rosco’, let time go by when they choose to stand up. However, both contestants have shown this time how important that factor is in a magnificent duel of strategies.
The two have had a remarkable first round, especially Rafa with 20 hits, to which he has immediately added another two. He seemed like a good level from which to expect his rival.
With one less, with 19, Orestes finished that first round. He seemed well on track until he stumbled on the ‘H’, an error that was going to hurt him especially when drawing at 22. The man from Burgos was forced to take risks and that’s when the duel between strategists began.
Controlling every second and resorting to ‘Pasapalabra’, Orestes has drawn an ace almost in the last second. The curious thing has been to discover that he would have also known the other word he had left: he had a new 24!
Now the challenge is for Rafa, who has to play it all or nothing. “What I feared”, he has confessed following seeing the final blow of his opponent. Discover the outcome of this exciting duel in the video!
