Predictable deal... looks like it may be another big win for the Banker again today.

...an even more predictable post.

Has the £50k come to the table AGAIN?!

The £5 is still there... I sniff the Bankers Gamble...

Round 6 - proveout

Noel says, despite the humour, Pepe knew what he was doing from the start.

Box 17 with Colin - £1,000

Box 7 with Mike - £75,000

Box 15 with Ben & Gary - £20,000

Banker time with £5 and £50,000 remaining.

Stats at 2 box

Average: £25,002.50
Fair deal: £12,751.25
Board total: £50,005.00

Banker's offer would've been:

£14,500

£5
£50,000

The Banker says he could offer almost anything on this final pair.

Banker's offer would've been:

£14,500

Noel reveals £50,000 in Pepe's Box 22.

Second power five amount blown away in a row...

There was no way he would have gambled at two box.

£50,000 on the table for the third time in 5 shows... Undersold each time.

Box 20 with Wai Ling contains the £5.

Pepe says he can do a lot of things with his winnings. Another bizarre anecdote to finish the game!

He won't even shut up in the credits!

There was a risk of winning a hobo-5 amount, remember.

So good stuff.

Only a Wakeyist could've won more. That's not a disappointment in my book.

I think this was the first game of the recording year, and if so, it's picked up where 2012 ended in studio time, with potential consequences for subsequent games!

So yesterdays recording was the last of 2012 then... so which means it didn't end the 2012 on a great win... (mega victory for the Banker) and first game recording this year went the Bankers way...

hopefully tomorrow's is a much better win.

Very nicely placed offer at 5-box. 30% of dropping down to at best a £20k/£1k finish, 30% chance of £20k/£35k finish at worst and the other 40% would have been £3-4k either side of the actual offer.

Neither decision wrong but sadly he had 1 of the 2 boxes that were greatly above what he dealt.

Coincidentally, Pepe dealt at the exact same offer as Giuseppe!

Wished I'd been home to watch Pepe's game live on TV, if only so i could have had access to the subtitles

Pepe was a great player, very funny and loquacious and although I couldn't understand half of what he said i found the whole game very entertaining. Not a bad deal, though the proveout failed to vindicate his decision
