Perfect! 17 please.

17... £3,000! You'd have been left with £20,000 and £35,000...

BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN

£27,500

That would've been the case for both of you, and Box 22 on the table had... £35,000! Now THAT will be interesting... 5 had the £20,000! Who's winning so far, or is it a draw?! This is intense as we go onwards...

It's Box 23!

DOUBLE
+£15,000
MONEY BACK
HALF
NOTHING

Depending on how you both play this, the game is won or lost with this very question: David, Will... Would you like to purchase Box 23?

There's a time to play safe and a time to go for it.

This is not the latter. NO DEAL, hypo 5.

I wanted to wait for KP's decision before I posted my choice as the smart thing for him to do upon seeing my choice would be to copy it. If he'd dealt Box 23, I might have chanced him losing money and sticking with what I have.

I am going to Deal Box 23 and go with 2, Mally's Law as always for me.

Thanks guys, that's GAME OVER! Let me sort out the results...

I've flipped a coin, and we'll begin with KP's offers and results...

Offer 1: £10,001
Offer 2: £11,851.23
Offer 3: £15,000
Offer 4: £26,000
Offer 5 (5-box): £39,998 - DEAL
Hypo Offer 6 (3-box): £15,000
Box 22 - £35,000

So it's a main-game OPW, he dealt for £2 less than £40,000 at 5-box, and he didn't buy Box 23... Option 5 had +£15,000 so that's a total of 3 points for KP so far, 2 for taking the second highest amount possible and 1 for the Power 5 win!

Here's how the Banker's engagement with the Banker went...

Offer 1: £10,000
Offer 2: £12,000
Offer 3: £15,000
Offer 5: £27,500
Offer 5 (6-box): £40,000 - DEAL
Hypo Offer 6 (3-box): £15,000

Will actually accepted MORE than KP one box EARLIER!

Then, he accepted Box 23, and Option 2...

There are no words. I felt certain KP would have had higher than me after a decent box following my Deal.

Amazing game.

Group A:

1. KP - 14
2. woko88 - 5
-----
3. willrelf - 0
4. Archstered - 0

Will still to get off of the starting line after his first game with KP, which was going PERFECTLY until Box 23 at the end, he was on for 9 points! This can be a cruel cruel game, but he has two more games to make up for it!

I'm loving the variety of situations this cup is throwing up, and we're only four games into it! Plenty more action and drama to come next time here in the Aaron Brock Cup Group Stages - join us next time!
