We’ve got yet another three-day champ coming into Friday’s game. Will Laurie win a fourth?
She’s trailing once again, yet is in a decent position to win.

Laurie MacDougall (3x) |
Harris Stutman |
Peyton Brown |

Tough luck for Peyton on that Daily Double; that took the wind out of his sails.

There is the potential for some mind games here, but I expect Laurie will go big again.
What actually happened
| Laurie | Harris | Peyton | |||
| 11,400 | 14,600 | 800 | |||
| 4,900 | 8,400 | 799 | |||
| 6,500 | 23,000 | 1 | |||

| 3,201 | 4,999 | 8,201 | 12,999 | ||
| 1,801 | 3,199 | ||||
| 6,401* | |||||
Yet she didn’t! And she basically forced Harris to go big, which could have paid off for her with a different clue. Instead, he takes home a nice chunk of change.
Congrats to Laurie on a solid run; maybe we’ll see her in the ToC.
