Round Five: Two Cases:
16: $25,000
17: $5,000
Wow, just like on the previous episode, we are left with another $750,000 "One Case Game" Final Six!:
The Final Six:
- $10
- $25
- $50
- $500
- $750
- $750,000
Banker's offer:
$86,000!
NO DEAL!
Round Six: One Case:
22: $10
Banker's offer:

Round Seven: One Case:

Banker's offer:
$170,000!
DEAL!
Shanon started her game last week by jumping down on to the stage and, as a result, her bank account has jumped up by a huge $170,000!
Now lets see if The Banker's ego will go crashing down too in the Proveout!
Proveout: Case One:
26: $50
Banker's offer:
$249,000!
Dealt at:
$170,000!
Proveout: Case Two:
3: $750
The Final Two:
- $500
- $750,000
And again, just like Cathy's game, Shannon would have avoided the $750,000 landmine all the way to the final two!
Also just like the previous game, The Banker would have offered this sum of money that a lot of people would call upsetting:
Banker's offer:
$413,000!
Dealt at:
$170,000!
It's clear that Shannon did not make the best deal possible in her game and The Banker can claim victory. Will it be a total victory or just a technical one?
Shannon picked Case 24 hoping it contained big money and it's opened to shown it did contain the...
24: $500
Yes, Shannon can now take home the fact she sold a case for far more that it was worth!
To prove it:

Game Summary:
Peak offer: $413,000
Case value: $500
Prize won: $170,000

Usually around this time, the contestant's supporters on the bench are shown. One of them sitting for Eric's game is a former DoND Contestant! Peter Montesanti! Who was a contestant way back in February 2006 and was the very first person I recapped on this board! Peter is close friends with Eric and is hoping he can do as well as he did!
