Paul says that is a lot of money, and there are so many reasons why he is on the show. He talks about the little bit of debt he has, and also how his wife would love to set up a gallery, and a nice win can give them the start they would need. Paul goes to Hugo and Anthony for some advice, they both tell him with the board he has there is very little risk in playing on and not walking away with as much money as he is being offered now.

Paul says

NO DEAL

At the moment the players seem to ALWAYS think if there are more reds than blues then the chances are that in the round the player will take out two reds and one blue. I know thats statistically more likely but it isnt set in stone.

Gordon seems pretty clued up on reading the board.

I think I might have dealt that...

Round 6

4 - 50p Anthony

20 - £15,000 Sarah

That doesn't help at all says Noel.

13 - £10,000 Newbie Andrea

Banker time with £10 and £20,000 remaining

Wow, what a decision you will have now says Noel. The Banker says this is very interesting.

Banker's offer:

£4,250

And it this stage on a game playing term, I think I'd go for it.

Not a 2 box that we wanted.

Hopefully someone will remind him of what he had yesterday, the £20k as it's still in play.

I was expecting about £6k.

That is such a great and clever offer says Noel. Noel does a quick sweep of the wings, but it is very mixed. Paul says it is a really good offer, but you are only here once.

Paul says

NO DEAL

I'm braced for the blue win here...but here's hoping!

Noel says Paul is in a very rare group of players who stick to their word of going all the way and playing the game.

Noel does a big build up to opening the box and then the Banker calls. He talks about how Paul's daughter picked the number 3, and asks if Paul doesn't swap his box how will he answer Poppy when she asks why he didn't trust her!

Banker's offer:

SWAP

Nasty there!

Paul says

NO SWAP

Noel opens Paul's box 7 and reveals £20,000

Oh PAY DIRT!

All the contestants run out to congratulate Paul

Box 3 with Hilde contains the £10

Paul thanks everyone for an amazing time, and says that £20,000 is life-changing for him.

Just what we needed...a sizeable win like yesterday...only this time an OPW by a country mile!

Can totally understand the reaction to his win there!

Yes!! That was hard fought for! Well done Paul.

£20,000 is an excellent result after having been offered as low as £25!

Great turnaround from a likeable contestant. The offers were consistently poor to force him on. I remember going down to Bristol about four years ago to watch a game with a very similar 5 box (10K 15K 20K and 2 blues) where the offer was £9,000
We've seen many shows with 20K and a blue and the banker has tended to offer very low amounts in live play. It worked against him today!

GET IN!!!!!!

A great turnaround and an OPW at long, long last!

However, some cynics might claim that this was forced - using the last two offers as a basis for this claim...

Regardless whether they do or not, very well done Paul!



Maybe someone did remind him... but, for whatever reason, it didn't make the final edit.
