I probably would've gone one, but wise decisoon, Aaron.

Either way, you're now in the Hall of Fame as one of our top money winners. We'll get to your final total momentarily.

But what would have happened if you'd have said refusée? It's time to find out.

Round 7

[14] - $400,000

Interesting. This would have produced an offer of...

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

$257,000

A stick. Let's check out case 26 next.

Round 8
[26] - $800,000 - Yes !

It's a Christmas miracle ! All that would have been left were $10 and $400, resulting in this:

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

$200

We know you've Scrooged Scrooge, but what was in that case of yours? Simultaneous open comin' atcha now!

[16] - $10
[19] - $400

You dealt at just the right time, and now you're in our Hall of Fame with a most impressive total - $317,000 in cash and stuff. Congratulations, Aaron !

Two games, two six-figure wins. How long can we keep this hot streak going? Find out next time on Le Banquier: The Forum Plays. Until then, this is Mark David saying good night, and good deals.

Awesome! I was actually expecting a drop had I hit the $400k which was one of the reasons for my taking the $257k, but sure as hell I'd have taken it then! Thanks for the game Mark, great as always, and excellent result

Yes, indeed ! Thanks for playing, Aaron. A most excellent result, and very well played throughout. I'd have probably played it the same way as you did.

And I most certainly would've taken the second $257,000, and only turned down the first in anticipation of an offer like that if one of the top amounts went.

Still, that was an amazing Banker Spanking, Aaron. Well played.
