We had a great week last week. Will we keep it up on Leap Day?
Here are our scores heading into Final:
|
David Bradley (1x) |
Tyler Shattuck |
Brigid Hannahoe |
| 25,000 | 6,200 | 13,800 |
In three straight games, our winner has (1) gotten Final right and (2) wagered $10,000. It’s conceivable that either David or Brigid could pull that off today.
What actually happened
| David | Tyler | Brigid | |||
| 25,000 | 6,200 | 13,800 | |||
| 3,000 | 6,157 | 11,201 | |||
| 28,000 | 12,357 | 2,599 | |||
| min | max | ||||
| 2,601 | 11,199 | 13,800 | |||
Not sure what Tyler was thinking with that wager, but in the end it was moot: he finishes in second and claims the $2,000 prize. But watch out, ToC tracker: David has now won 2 games and $55,000.
