The Banker calls and says that he always thought Stephen would be trouble. He then offers the SWAP

Banker's offer:

SWAP

Stephen says

NO SWAP

Noel opens Stephen's box 12 and reveals £250

Box 7 with Sam contains the £15,000

Stephen says he just had to go for it as he had some dreams.

Bah!! Unlucky

£4,500?! That was such an appalling offer!
I was expecting an offer of about £6k like Andre. Yeah, Stephen had £250 rather than £500 but it's hardly any different.
If it had been £6,000, that would've been a certain deal.

Once again a horrible game...which I could've been turned into an OPW because of Box 7 left to the end

Was gutted for Stephen. I thought the banker might have stuck at 5K at 2 box to be honest. To have gone on at 3 box I would've wanted a guarantee from the banker.

The banker played him like a fiddle in that last round. He let it out that he would porbably deal so the offer went down and forced him to the blue win. Shame as he was a nice bloke and deserved better.

Brave but unlucky.

The Banker undoubtedly turned the one-box-at-a-time final round to his advantage there but that is his perogative. A stick or even a modest increase in the final offer might well have secured a deal and allowed Stephen the chance to bow out of the game with some dignity but if there was a guaranteed rate card this show would be a lot less exciting

And it could have been a lot worse...he could have easily taken out the £15k in that final round.

To be honest, the 3-box offer was a lot more dealable than the 2-box one. Can't argue with the gambles he took but the run of low amounts brought to the table continues.

Nice to see Lynn make an appearance today - given the amount of shows she's seen live.
