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...

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
Case value: $50
Prize won: $85,000
Result: Technical Banker Win (58-42)
And there you have it!
