It's judged on the contents of the box on the table, which was box 2 with £750, so it was an OPW.

Well, that was a good game, I liked Ginge's attitude, it seemed like she would go for the end gamble for quite a while, but her husband gave her a bit of a reality check and that swung her decision at the last minute. Although, today was a case where either decision would've been justifiable I think - I would've opted to deal as well.

The hypothetical swap ruined it a bit for me, we know it's a device to guilt-trip the player either way, but it's ridiculous to suggest a box on the wings was the one they were selling and realistically imply that they would've had the nerve to risk swapping away a big amount, in this case £75,000. It's totally irrelevant, it was an OPW and everyone should be encouraged to celebrate it that way.

Wow, tough game, some really bad luck and a great turn around. Ginge played it just right, holding her nerve, it looked like she got talked out of the final gamble by her other half there, but that could be down to the edit.

Think either decision was justifiable at the final offer, not sure i would have wanted to go away with just £750 but at the same time £17k was a little under what I would have wanted for that final pair.

Out of interest is that the first time the Banker has initiated a hypo swap? Normally they only come about because the player specifically asks for one (or if the £250k is still in play)

Great game again. An OPW for me, especially given the deal was at 2 box so there is no doubt unlike a 5 box deal where we don't know for certain what the player would have done at 2 box.

Almost a mirror image of Lillian's game a few weeks ago. In both games, £750 and £75K were the final pair; in both games, the player had to decide whether to keep/take £17K or take the 50/50 shot at more than quadrupling the amount; in both games, they would've had it. (And I totally believe Ginge would've swapped, given the amount of emotion invested in Box 19.) Especially frustrating is the fact that she clearly had an itch to take a shot at it, but ultimately wavered.
