Sensible decision, no matter what the proveout holds.

And not knowing what is in the box, that's a totally sensible decision. Of course, there's a 1 in 4 chance he has significantly more but 75% of the time he will have less.

I don't think it is... but I could be proved wrong.

Probably would've dealt that myself. Losing the £35k and sticking at £11k is a good result. Could still be on for a spanking! It's only 8 minutes until the end so there will have been a crap load of editing!

We're back

Round 5 - proveout

17 - Darren - £100

22 - Ali - £20,000

2 - Hoda - £75,000

Banker time

YES! A spanking! Should count himself very lucky that it is. As if he did continue, then the next offer would probably force him to carry on.

Round 6 - proveout

10 - Jacob - £50,000

18 - Damien - 50p

16 - Katie - £5,000

Banker time with 10p and £1 remaining...

Yay! Great result!

Noel opens Phil's box 11 and reveals £1

Where did that come from?!

Box 7 with Chris contains the 10p

Another board that I post on. A few offers today that were worthy of consideration (including the 5-box one in a small way). Phil took the one when the board stopped being totally stable.

Not a bad result after taking the top 2 out in the first round and then kept the next 2 highest all the way to dealing and having neither in his box.

Great post!
But a bit badly timed...

Anyway, well done Phil on a great sbanking!

Can't argue with that. Nobody can, surely?

Wow, he was a bit hyper weren't he, calmed down towards the end though, and I'm glad about that.

Least he got a spanking.

Couldn't help thinking Noel's intro today could have been directed at Mark.

Phil's game got off to a bad start but he managed to stabilise the board long enough to get a 5 figure offer, and the moment he saw the board start to wobble had the sense to get out. Nice to see a spanking again, feels like ages since the last one
