After yesterday's farce of a game with a wonderful banker loss, it was a good player/banker duel today - I though Debbie would be the kind who would have a go at the huge money while it was there, but be sensible enough to get out on an unstable baord, and so it proved. I'd have done exactly the same as her, and only been disappointed about the proveout if I'd had the 250k in my box! In this case, one round too early was infinitely better than one too late! The 36k was completely believable too, it would have had to have been that if she'd turned down the 18k.
I think something like 5k has been offered on a 250k/rock/6 blues last 8 before hasn't it? (Paul from Feb 06!) That shows how good an offer that 18k was!
That's the 3rd 1p for Box 14 at the table IIRC, but the first time it hasn't been won?
KP - I did actually think basicasic might have dealt the 36k, as it was a slightly weaker last 5 to Graeme's (Debbie had £1 instead of £5k), and the offer was 5k less, and I remember him saying he'd have been wavering at 41k - only for me to read in the "What would you have done" thread to be completely wrong!
I knew about the 110k spoiler and thought it was going to be the Bunney/Morris finish, and after she dealt, I thougth someone must have got it slightly wrong and she would have a proveout offer of 100k on the same last pair, or even a ridiculously inflated offer on a 250k/blue finish, thankfully that didn't happen either!
