How horribly unlucky! Now the most Rea can win now is just $10,000. The Banker will win matter what happens.

Banker's offer: $2,000!

NO DEAL!

Round Eight: One Case:

3: $1!!

Banker's offer: $4,000!

DEAL!

Well, Rea's game may not have went well, but she still won some nice money. $4,000 is hers no matter what.

Howie decides to go ahead and finish the game without a Proveout. Case 7 held...

7: $1,000

To prove it:

11: $10,000

22: $400

Game Summary:

Peak offer: $70,000
Case value: $1,000
Prize won: $4,000
Result: Technical Banker Win (95-5)

It's safe to say Rea's game was a very rough roller coaster that didn't end on the best note. Will our next contender have a more stable game and be rewarded with a seven-figure payday for it? His name is...

Ouch! After such a great run, Dru's luck has just taken a nasty turn for the worse! However, the board is still quite decent!

The Final Six:

- $50
- $500
- $10,000
- $50,000
- $300,000
- $400,000

But you know The Banker is going to punish Dru severely for hitting the million...

Banker's offer: $85,000!
















NO DEAL!

Round Eight: One Case:



















20: $50,000

Banker's offer: $85,000!

No, you did not misread that! The Banker has chosen to STICK with the previous offer! An especially nasty move!

Dru refused the first $85,000 and he has chosen to do this with the next $85,000 offer...

DEAL!

Dru's game started out great but it really went sour as it went along, but he has earned himself $85,000 in cash!

While clearly not the best deal he could have made, there is time for a Proveout to see if he made a wise deal!

Proveout: Case One:

















18: $500

The Final Two:

- $50
- $300,000

Banker's offer: $140,000!
Dealt at: $85,000!

Dru has also had to endure a roller coaster game. Will this ride end smoothly with only fifty bucks in the case or will it end very rough with the $300,000 and an outright Banker victory?

Howie opens Case 5 and shows us that, if he had gone all the way to the end, he would have wound up with this...


















5: $50!

To prove it:

8: $300,000

Game Summary:

Peak offer: $198,000

And there you have it!
