Matthew Solina!

This is just the third offer and The Banker feels he has to raise it up to...
Banker's offer:
$249,000!
NO DEAL!
WOW! *Third* offer and it's already into the gigantic life-changing sums of money! Can he hold on to this HUGE advantage over The Banker? We find out on...
Round Four: Three Cases:
7: $750,000!!
11: $75,000
6: $500
The Banker is feeling the pressure, he wants Matthew out of the game and he wants Case 23! So, he thinks Matthew will be scared out with an offer of...
Banker's offer:
$400,000!
Oh, but The Banker isn't done yet! He *REALLY* wants Matthew out of the game. So he adds pressure to the offer by bringing out his own small group of Case Models and they present to him...
$400,000 IN REAL CASH!!!!!
Yes, if Matthew takes the offer, he will have $400,000 in real cold hard American cash to take home!
Facing this incredible offer, Matthew decision's is to say...
NO DEAL!!!!!
The biggest offer ever refused! Lets hope Matthew was wise to refuse that huge offer with...
Round Five: Two Cases:
20: $300
2: $10,000
THE BANKER IS FURIOUS!! He feels that he has no choice to RAISE THE OFFER to where it has NEVER been at in play!
Banker's offer:
$650,000!!!!!!
Remember, Matthew still has $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 still in play! He would have one case to open if he we're to play on. If he hits one of the big numbers, the offer will go way down.
With all that in mind and facing the biggest offer ever, Matthew says...
NO DEAL!!!!!!!
YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! MATTHEW JUST
TURNED DOWN $650,000!!!!
Michael has a VITAL round ahead of him and it's just one case. Can he do it or has he made a GIGANTIC mistake? All will be answered with...
Round Six: One Case:
15: $500,000!
Despite hitting a huge number, The Banker has INCREASED the offer again! This time he wants Matthew to leave with...
Banker's offer:
$675,000!!!!!!!!
Again, I remind you, Matthew still has the two seven-figure amounts in play! Matthew has a long, hard think and with the advice of his supporters, Matthew is going to say...
DEAL!!!!!!
MATTHEW HAS TAKEN THE BIGGEST IN PLAY OFFER IN AMERICAN "DEAL OR NO DEAL" HISTORY!!!!! A life-changing $675,000 is now safe in Matthew's pocket!
However, did Matthew possibly throw away the chance at even more money? Lets Proveout and see just how clever Matthew was!
Proveout Round One:
26: $1,000,000!!!
Banker's offer:
$610,000!
Yes, the offer would of went down! One down, one to go!
Proveout Round Two:
14: $250,000
This offer is going to make you sick...
Banker's offer:
$1,100,000!!!!!!
Proveout Round Three:
22: $750
Oh no! Matthew would of kept the $3,000,000 in play to the final along with the $1!
If you thought the $1,100,000 offer was sick, brace yourself to what The Banker would of offered if Matthew had the mad courage to play it all the way to this stage...
Banker's offer:
$1,600,000!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew sold his case for $675,000. He could of had $1,600,000. Was the big prize in Matthew's case of 23 or was there just a dollar in it after all?
Howie opens the case and America sees that Matthew choice had...
23: $3,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MATTHEW HAD THREE MILLION DOLLARS IN HIS CASE!!!! Obviously, with $675,000 still coming his way, Matthew is still very happy with his result! He's definitely not complaining!
To prove it:
19: $1
Peak offer: $1,600,000
Case value: $3,000,000
Prize won: $675,000
Result: Outright Banker Win
