Thanks for the awesome recap as usual, J.R. !

What was the Banker smoking? $25k on that final three? $18k on that final four?

I'm sorry, the Banker needs an Banana Sandwich again.

Don't know why she dealt, as at least 98% of the players would go for it and ND that, considering that there was $50k guaranteed, even if it was an $11k gamble to win $14k.

However, it turned out to be the right move also, as the lower amount was in her (new) case.

Personally, $61k was a slightly low offer, even tho the banker doesn't have much room to maneuver in that situation.
