In today’s middle game, a dominant TOC champ takes on two very strong fan favorites.
As predicted, all three players were in contention heading into Final, and it’s my fellow College Champ in the lead.
Robin Carroll: 5,600
Bob Harris: 6,000
Shane Whitlock: 10,000

Our contestants have, mercifully, given me some easy numbers to work with.
Shane should wager 2,001.
Bob and Robin need to get it right to have a shot, so put it all on the line!
Nice work by all three, and particularly so by Robin, for nailing a very tough Final.
