And finally John Isner's just won that mammoth marathon tennis match 70-68 in that final set, crikey!!!

Hope this pays off for Lara!

I'd go on here, those three reds look so solid...and as long as one of them stay at least, you're still getting a 5-figure offer!

5-figures for a £20k/blue would have to be the mean.

That's a very brave decision to go on - hope she doesn't regret it.

Italy are (edit: NEARLY) out the World Cup, the tennis is over - time to concentrate on this.

Round 6

The Banker calls before the start of the round and says he believes if the 1st box is blue he thinks Lara will go away with a life-changing sum of money

4 - 10p Rob

That was the perfect start says Noel.

5 - £5 Mini

You was so right to turn down the £17,000 says Noel, and you are now guaranteed £20,000

22 - £50,000 Del

Banker time with £20,000 and £35,000 remaining

Never mind, at least she got the two blues out!

Last blue is gone...argh! No £50k gone...

That was a glimmer of hope for the Banker says Noel.

No deal for me...not just coz it's THAT offer but coz there really isn't much to lose on that finish!

NO DEAL

Well, with £20k guaranteed why not go for it!

And she's going for it too, let this be £35k....

Noel asks Lara if she was always going to play all the way to the end, and she says it depended on the game.

The Banker calls back and offers the SWAP

Never mind, what a fascinating game!

Box 11 with newbie Harry contains the £35,000

Lara says she is really happy with that win as she can do all the things she wanted to do

Ugh!

And at the last minute, it goes a tiny bit wrong

A lot of tension between 5-box and the end and it gets her only £3k more than the offer she turned down, although given we've had sensible 5-box decisions rewarded by bad luck, it's nice to have a risky one rewarded with good luck.

A OBW today but a feel-good one nevertheless.

It's funny when someone is left with three consecutive red values at the end and they win the lowest it always feels like a massive anti-climax, but if she'd avoided a blue on the wings and won £20k having to take an all-or-peanuts gamble, everyone would have said what a wonderful game it was.

Anyway I've been quite satisifed with every game from Mark's onwards, which makes a full week, it's much better than it was earlier in the month!
