And here's how it went!

22 cases, 22 contestants and $500,000 up for grabs on the 30 minute daily Deal or No Deal!

Today, The Deal Wheel contestant randomizer lands on..

Case 3!

Case 3 belongs to...

Contestant: Flash Flood! (Yes, that is, in fact, his real name!)

Right away, Flash has a choice. He can keep the Case 3 he had on the Contestant's Row or may swap it for any of the other cases on the gallery. Flash chooses...

SWAP!

The case Flash decides to trade is...

Case 8!

Will Flash have a flood of cash or a sprinkle of pocket change? We shall see with...

- $1,000
- $2,500

Banker's offer: $1,400!

NO DEAL!

Round Eight: Last Case:

Howie offers no swap, Flash must take whatever is in Case 8.

Hopefully, Flood can salvage some good fortune and walk with the better of the two remaining sums. It is also worth noting that this was a game where THE FIRST OFFER would've given Flash the OPW!

8 (Flash): $2,500!!!

Yes! Flash may not have taken The Banker for big bucks, but at least he finished the game on a decent high note!

To prove it:

12 (Rick): $1,000

Game Summary:

Peak offer: $6,000
Case value: $2,500
Prize won: $2,500
Result: Outright Banker Win

And there you have it!

Flash Flood produced a damp squib of a game. I'd have taken $2,800 as that was practically the mean but it's hardly surprising he turned it down on that final three is it?!?

The definition of an anti-climax. Thankfully it did still air!!
