We’re back for the conclusion of John West’s game. Before the break, he was offered
$176,000. Howie re-explains the counter offer. “Man, I didn’t think there would be this kind of pressure,” says John.
His sons are begging him to play on, and John decides exercise his counter offer privileges. He submits a counter offer of
The Banker calls back quickly. “Man, tell me the verdict!” says a visibly nervous John. Howie delivers the Banker’s verdict - it’s a

Round 8[22] -
$50,000 BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN | $300,000 |
Round 9[24] -
$75 BANKER'S OFFER WOULD'VE BEEN | $524,000 |
Uh, sorry, but is the Banker on crack? That’s wayyyy above the mean.
Overly inflated proveout offers aside, did John just give up the chance to win three-quarters of a million dollars, or was there only a tenner his case?
Howie opens case 5 and reveals
$10. So the deal was a good one. The
$750,000 was hiding in case 23.
John West can now rev his engine and head north to the Motor City with
$200,000 in tow. That’ll certainly help him get that Mustang.
Next time, we meet Philadelphia’s human wind-up toy. Until then, good night and good deals.
