I got a few texts about tonight’s game.
And, yes, every single one of them was correct: Amanda’s Penultimate Wager was one of the worst I’ve ever seen on this show: 8,100 and a 1,000 wager that wouldn’t even get her in contention.

Andrew Pau (3x) |
Nikhil Damle |
Amanda Richards |
| 18,600 | 400 | 7,100 |
Sure, she didn’t get it right – but had she done so, she still would have had a zero percent chance of winning.
I don’t feel like repeating my past rants here tonight.
What actually happened

Andrew has now won $123,802, and he looks to break our 5xer drought tomorrow.
